I honestly can say no one is purely burning veggie oil/biodiesel, running wood furnaces in the winter, generating electricity from micro turbines, or using solar water heaters all in the name of the environment. Energy independence, economical reasons, and an overall better running engine are just some of the other reasons we burn biodiesel or waste veggie oil in diesel engines. You don't have to be a tree hugger to care about the air we breath, the soil we grow crops in, or the water we drink. Keep adding plastic to the fire, see if I care. By the way, can I have your address so I can poor my used motor oil in your water?! I mean have some sense. Educate yourself sir or madam on the effects of burnt plastic. The "not in the my backyard" mentally is tired and old. Keep it in the 20th century where it belongs.

While you may not be a major petrol chemical corporation, every little bit helps. Here is an analogy for ya. I bet your change jar adds up over time. After all, those pennies,nickels, dimes, and quarters help that 27K a year income when you need a little extra fuel,food, or in need of paying a bill. Well the chemicals emitted into the air, one carboy burned at a time, adds up to the amount of chemicals we all breath, eat, and drink. Enlighten your consciousness.

Switch out the old ones for new ones with the people you collect the WVO. Make use of what you already have while trying to cut down on excess waste. Do it, don't do it. Just don't brag about how you burning plastic and except to not get sh*t for it.

One more thing, you want to insult someone... anyone. have sense and at least use their name? Who is irk?!

Erik
