Friends and neighbors from across Minneapolis joined with students, staff, and faculty from Augsburg College to gather garbage (27 bags), reclaim recyclables (10 bags), and build community with a bike ride along the Mississippi River.

I didn't get to make it, I was busy today tuning tinkering and filtering bio-fuel for my biodiesel/WasteVeggieOil-powered Isuzu diesel pickup... It has 389,000 miles on it, Still runs like new, gets 45+mpg, produces 80% less carbon-emissions and has not had a drop of petrol-based fuel in the tank for over 15 years! (Not even petrol-based oils in the engine/transmission/axles!)

Pure biodiesel produces

But I'm celebrating with you all in spirit, even though I could not attend in person...
