More information about their biodiesel/glycerin soap project can be found posted on their website at www.greenterraceassistedliving.com. A biofuel presentation can also be scheduled through the website.

“We’re fortunate to have the talent we have on our team,” said Greene.

And what are they doing with the biodiesel? Kathy Baker, administrator for Green Terrace, said that they have just been keeping it. The staff has thought about buying a diesel generator for emergencies and using the stock-piled fuel to power it.

“Our ‘byproduct’ of our activity is the biodiesel,” said Greene laughing.

He said the center’s officials would like to expose other people to the idea of making biodiesel because they believe that it is a way of helping the environment.

“Making the public aware is a way we can contribute. We all need to know how to save our environment and how to keep our minds active,” said Greene, who is particularly interested in teleconference programs and sharing the information with school students.

He jokingly said that he and his staff “thought outside the box” and then just stayed “outside the box.” He also said that none of what they do at the facility is planned. Baker added that things just sort of happen and they go with it. However, Greene said, they would love to have advice and constructive criticism about their residents’ activities. He said that their goal is that every one of their projects are designed to help others improve their lives.

“We’re having good clean fun,” said Greene.
