Using a biodiesel powered tour bus had become a worn out cliche, especially when it was realized it was doing more harm than regular diesel.

The trend now is to claim to use recycled restaurant grease, although biodiesel refiners, like any for profit business, can’t be trusted to tell the truth about what they use for feedstock. Claiming to use a dash of recycled veggie oil in the mix is the latest example of product greenwashing.

Maybe i’m a little older, but going to the grateful dead rainforest benefit show in ’89 opened up my eyes and changed my life. By the last few actual Grateful Dead shows, not only had I switched my major to work in green living, but we also moved from groovy VW campers to diesel golfs, and got to see some of my last (Jerry) shows on used french fry oil that we’d make in our kitchen! BTW has 2point0 rock!!

But you can also be happy to know that some of the legacy from your Phish scene led to great green stuff (a scene, and green innovations which we can all admit would never have existed if it weren’t for the blueprint and 20 year development of GD)! Right now more than half of the major rock festivals in North America now use CleanVibes to reduce festival waste (usually by at least 50%) they are a Phish-school graduate.. there are many who were putting together Phish productions who are now doing most of thee jamfests, and they are all green savvy… sure it’s still the driving (and deadheads were as bad as phisheads for that)…. that’s why we need stuff like the VW Chamelion!! I mean right?

Fusion wise– while you’re there, ask ‘m about ford limos… i think it’s very interesting that they are discontinuing the Town Car (geneic airport limo?) in 2011 and now i hear people are just about to start picking up fusions that Ford has stretched by 6″ that are going to start showing up in Limo Fleets…

so i do hope it’s a great & smooth ride. Enjoy the vacuum and loooooong sustained Trey single-note solos!

I hope the Fusion is at least decorated somehow…Jerry Garcia may be rolling over in his grave.
