I would like to sponsor EVerLube by planting a tree this weekend. No Lie.

Actually, does anyone use biodiesel for lube or solvent? I got some that's
made out of old cooking oil and have been told it's safe enough to drink and
it's biodegradable. I have my doubts.

Since I started using EVerLube two years ago, I know how much oil I've
actually used, and thereby introduced into the environment via discarded
rags, etc. It's MAYBE 1/2 quart. Maybe. That's over two years, servicing
about four bikes. That makes my oil waste per bike to be about 1/16th of a
quart per year, or four tablespoons. It's probably less than that. I think
the Earth has much bigger problems.
