Many of you are already know about biodiesel. But, did you know that we have a local co-op (or two) here in the NC Piedmont? Check out one of our friends: Piedmont Biofuels Cooperative.

Most of the biodiesel produced at Piedmont Biofuels comes from chicken fat. However, Piedmont Biofuels Cooperative has taken on the task of collecting more used fryer oil (from local restaurants and cafeterias) in order to improve environmental and economic sustainability. 

In so doing, Piedmont Biofuels is looking for a few good folks to talk with restaurants and cafeterias in the triangle region about using Piedmont Biofuels as their oil collection service. 

It's a great chance to see what it takes to build a waste oil collection business all while spreading the word about biodiesel (while generally doing good). Piedmont Biofuels notes that applicants should be outgoing and good on their feet, excited about sustainability and know the triangle region reasonably well.

Heck, this is such a great and interesting cause that I'm excited enough to go talk to all my favorite restaurants!

If you want to learn more and/or help out, shoot Greg with Piedmont Biofuels an email to learn more.
