Maybe Fairfax County can use this idea as part of their new strategy to be a Green and Environmentally conscious community. Why not fuel the Fairfax Connector with fats from Fairfax's fast food restaurants...?

Now here's innovative thinking -- and it's coming from the Public Utilities Commission of all places.

"Fats to grease Muni's wheels," from the San Francisco Examiner. Leftover grease from San Francisco's restaurants will be recycled into fuel for The City's diesel buses, under a $1.3 million program in the works by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.

Talk about reduce and reuse.
