Despite reservations over unintended side effects of using biofuels as a replacement transport fuel (deforestation, increased food prices and so on), I have to think that there are some circumstances where biodiesel is a good idea. This may be one of them. Planet Biodiesel is a school and charitable organisation in Cambodia that runs outreach programmes for the poorest children in the community. In addition to running recycling, waste cleanup and playground development programmes, the school manufactures up to 500 litres of biodiesel a week from used cooking oil, which powers the school bus, generates electricity and is used for Planet Biodiesel's tour company.
