Planet Earth Clothing takes a look at the Greasebus
In the latest "Perspectives" video series, Planet Earth Clothing takes a look at the Greasebus, a vegetable oil fueled bus that gives skiers and snowboarders an environmentally friendly lift to their local mountain. A roundtrip ride only costs $10 with the only bi-product being a distinct smell of French fries coming out of the tailpipe. Meet Founder Mike Parziale and learn how his passion for sustainable transportation has put Greasebus on the map by offering a guilt free ride to the hill.
Planet Earth Clothings Bio-Diesel Greasebus
From the back alley of a Chinese restaurant to fueling a bus full of people to the mountain, the entire process of recycling grease can seem complicated but fortunately Mike breaks it down along with the history of the diesel engine and the controversy surrounding it's inventor. Learn more about the vision of the Greasebus, Rudolf Diesel and the conspiracies regarding his death in Planet Earth Clothing's 4-part video & interview series. Here's to the Greasebus rolling clean with a clear conscience.
The Greasebus makes daily trips up to Mt Hood Meadows throughout the ski season, open to all skiers and snowboarders. Our vegetable oil fuel comes to us free of charge by donation from several Portland area restaurants. With the help of our sponsors and the fact that we arent affected by fuel prices, were able to charge just ten dollars per person for each round trip to Mt Hood. Simply sign up for the dates youre interested in using our calendar and meet up with the bus on the morning of your trip.
