Let’s Begin…
How could you dispose of
your cooking oil when you’re done cooking? The easiest thing to do might
be to pour it down your drain -- but if you save it up and send it to a
processing plant, it can gain useful new life as biodiesel, a
biodegradable energy source which can run in diesel engines instead of
refined petroleum. Natascia Radice describes the process of turning goop
into good.
It seems a relatively easy task to collect used oil to produce biodiesel, yet most people find it really difficult to take the first step and stop throwing it down the drain. Why do you think it is so difficult to change a behavior, and what strategies would you use to help someone to make that change?
