On March 18, it's time to celebrate National Biodiesel Day! This day has been around since 2007 and was created to recognize the importance of biodiesel as an alternative fuel source. Biodiesel is made from renewable resources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oil and can be used in place of regular diesel fuel in many engines. Not only does it reduce emissions by up to 80%, but it also helps boost local economies and creates jobs. So join us in celebrating this important day by learning more about how biodiesel can help save the planet!
