Fellow Veggies,
This isn't really a vegetarian event, but thought you may be interested.
Also, if you use oil from mcdonald's to power your biodiesel car, it is
NOT considered a vegetarian mode of transport due to beef contamination :)

Do you know it's possible to run a diesel engine off vegetable oil?
Joshua Tickell does, and has proved it! Josh drove across the United
States in 1997-1998 in the famed "Veggie Van," powered off used
vegetable oil from fast food restaurants and other places. Come hear
Josh talk about this promising alternative to petroleum.
