Petroleum-based waste is a great source of renewable energy

Did you know that in average around 7 gallons of refined oil go into one car tire?

War to End All Wars - Well Maybe Not But It Will Help.

I just received an invitation to join a PEACE group and no one is more in favor of peace than I am but I had to decline.
