i marked my "create your own challenge" completed not because it's accomplished, but because i've done everything i know to achieve my goal; i've found a company who will collect waste from restaurants and homeowners and it's used exclusively for creating fuel - that's the best i could do, i consider that accomplished

  And your research on this will grow because I am sharing with a wider audience. Hopefully, this will result in additional pick-up locations throughout the county. Fingers crossed :)

We have such a terrific team! Every one of our members brings something different to the table and we always are learning from each other, not to mention that we have a lot of fun doing it. We're over half way there my friends and my greatest wish is that each of us makes these challenges part of our daily lives.

My personal challenge of finding a recycler for the public for used cooking oil is much more difficult than i ever imagined; luckily for me, Recycle Brevard is also working on this; the challenge definitely won't be completed within the time frame of this program, but it will be done, i'm certain of that, and i'll continue working on this
