Using bioDiesel (2go) in the light towers and generators allowed the event to reduce emissions by nearly 80% vs petroleum diesel.
Interview from Sarasota Herald-Tribune: Ah… the green life
Dusty Swartz, owner of bioDiesel2go, said there are challenges to ushering in green alternatives, but that once their benefits are known, they become popular quickly. That is one reason he donated about 300 gallons of biodiesel fuel to support the mission of e-fest. The biodegradeable and nontoxic fuel will reduce e-fest’s emissions, he added.
Biodiesel is primarily made from chicken fat, wasted begetable oil and virgin soy oil, he said, and a biodiesel spill can be cleaned up with water alone. “it breakes down at the same rate as sugar, he said. I actually spilled some while setting up this morning and I put my finger in it and licked it. It freaked everyone out.”
