Our Vegetable Oil Exchange is open for use!

Cook shaking hands with car driverOur Vegetable Oil Exchange is now open for use!

We are excited about the Exchange, and the opportunity it offers for used vegetable oil to be reused right within our community.

The Exchange creates an electronic meeting place for generators of used vegetable oil, and folks who put that oil back into service, often as fuel for their cars.  It's an example of turning "trash" to "treasure!"

This afternoon, the Exchange was featured on WAMU Radio's "Metro Connection" show.  Listen to the Metro Connection archive to hear interviews with some local waste vegetable oil generators and users, and to learn about cars fueled by this oil.

Update, September 20, 2007: Read more and watch video of today's WUSA9 TV coverage of the Vegetable Oil Exchange
