There once was a Kansan who frowned
He frowned because his oil was browned.
It was leftover grease
The supply never ceased
And into the drain it got downed
Then someone at KU got smart:
“With dependences on oil we’ll part!
we don’t need no soy oil
just bring brown grease to boil
And biodiesel vats we’ll start!”
And so today we got the spiel
About their new biodiesel
Clear as water
But burns way hotter
You can’t deny it’s golden appeal.
(The KU Biodiesel Initiative gave us a talk about their biodiesel production. Associate Professor Susan Stagg-Williams and Ilya Tabakh presented to us. For more information, check out the KU media write-up.
STUDENT CO-OP TEASER TRAILER:
And then we went to visit Ad ASTRA, one of 3 coops administered by KU Student Coops. This tour was led by Dustin Jensen (Scholar ’06 & ’07), and Laura Adams (Scholar ’05) - pictured on the right.
It was a glimpse into communal living in an environment where 10 different people with different skills to contribute – from finding ways to improve building insulation to constructing recycled metal sculptures – to create a sustainable living space. For more resources, you’ll have to sit tight till August (when I’ll post my final project).
