I’ve been asked so many times, and often made something up. caro: “As a Long Island teenager, Noah Langer, 24, was told the numbers represented the acres of rain forest destroyed annually. Sarah Venezia, who can see the building each morning on her way to work, always assumed they stood for daily carbon emissions. And for years, friends tried to convince Bianca Rutigliano, who tends bar near Union Square, that the clock was counting down the seconds remaining until the end of the world.” (In Union Square, 15 Numbers Add Up, Once Again, to Time)

Turning French Fries Green

Tri-State Biodiesel, a Bronx-based company, turns grease collected in city restaurants into biodiesel fuel that powers trucks and heats buildings. The firm provides a sustainable model for the growing number of enterprises that enter this still small market. The United States produced 60 billion gallons of diesel fuel last year but only half a billion gallons of biodiesel.

The company has over 40 employees, some of whom are former homeless people graduated from the Doe Fund program.

Tri-State Biodiesel vacuums used cooking oil from 3,500 venues including Grand Central Terminal, Yankee Stadium and restaurants like Marimoto in Chelsea.
