Diesel Earth

Does anyone have any more information on the 46 cent diesel fuel thing I’ve seen going around?

From their web site:

DSE has developed a revolutionary method for producing an inexpensive, high performance fuel that can power ANY DIESEL ENGINE and the cost to you is only *46¢ per gallon! That means over $3+ savings for EVERY gallon of our fuel you use!

You have NOT heard of this before. This is an entirely new way in America to make your own fuel from fry oils that takes only minutes. It can be used as a 100% replacement for petrol diesel fuel OR as a fuel offset by using it with petrol diesel fuel in any percentage you desire. DSE fuel and petrol diesel fuel are perfectly compatible.

I’d like a bit of feedback on what these guys are doing. Comments are appreciated.

I can’t even tell you how much I love freecycle.  You are saving the earth and getting free stuff!  Does it get any better than that?  I love that I can see all my stuff that I have so lovingly bought and picked out go to good homes!  If you haven’t joined your local freecycle network, I suggest checking it out!

Definitely a worthwhile service!

Has anyone else seen the run your car on water thing? This thing looks like a total scam and it makes me sad. People hocking ebooks for $50 or more promising that you’ll be able to run your car on water. Here’s the breakdown as I see it.

• True – An internal combustion engine can be run on hydrogen. In fact, you can pump it straight into the carburetor unmodified until it backfires!
• True – hydrogen can be “made” from water. We all know this. Think back to high-school chemistry.
• False – A system exists that can convert large enough amounts of hydrogen to fuel your auto that is reliable, inexpensive, and efficient. While you CAN put together a system to do it on a very small scale (like enough to fill a ping pong ball), you can’t make it in large enough quantities to drive to work!

Hope you weren’t getting too excited. The theory is sound, but it seems like the bulk of the internet would rather exploit it for cash than try and explore its possibilities.

From a quick search on “run your car on water”. FYI – I’m not arguing against any of these site specifically. They just came up first in the search.

Okay, so I know I haven’t written for a little while, but I Have been working on this!

I bought the whole family the water bottles, and a fancy water filter, and it is working.  One of the nice side benefits of drinking the filtered water is that there aren’t half empty bottles of water all over my house… and my kid can’t pour the water out of her new bottles the same as she can with the store bought ones!

My next green step I think is to get those cloth bags at the grocery store.  They have pink ones at my kroger now, so I was thinking I should get those, but the bags are just so expensive!  I wish going green didn’t have to cost SO much money.  Maybe there is somewhere online that I can go to get some cheaper grocery bags.  I feel guilty every time I use those other bags, so I know it is the right thing to do, but I just hate to throw down that kind of cash when I am already spending 200 bucks on food!

Speaking of food prices, have you heard about the price of wheat flour going up?  This could effect everything, but for now, it sure as heck effects my sweet sweet bagels!

Well, I started reading a little about this, and I think this is a very good step to take!  Let’s get rid of those plastic water bottles!  There are so many alternatives out there, and I, for one, pledge to do my part to start filtering for the good!
