Fuel prices are only going one way. Used vegetable oil can be processed into Biodiesel for diesel powered vehicles and tools. Fuel prices are rocketing and only getting more expensive. More and more people and organisations are processing used vegetable oil into Biodiesel. For this reason used vegetable oil has a significant resale value. Biodisel has lower carbon emissions than regular diesel. Oilbeback.com is a used vegetable oil reuse service. The service matches producers with buyers to create a level playing field for the trade of waste vegetable oil. There is a growing underground movement of DIY enthusiasts who develop relationships with restaurants and collect their waste oil to make diesel. Large firms will also pay restaurants for their used vegetable oil. This service democratises the used vegetable oil market for the benefit of society

My campaign site, thecreativecrip.com (and my nom de plume) was borne of the frustration in trying to become self-employed having become disabled and exhausted my redundancy savings. The of aim this project has always been to chronicle my thoughts and experiences as an entrepreneur trying to successfully grow a business despite the limitations of physical, mental and invisible disabilities. I don’t want to carry on living my life as it is now – becoming disabled and needing benefits is not a lifestyle choice, especially given the not insignificant skills and experience I’ve gained from nearly 25 years working on Wall Street and in The City of London. The reality is proving to be quite different to the idea. I have spent the better part of two years floundering, barely keeping my head above water as I begged for help and fought to not be forced into the usual dead-end workfare schemes. I have received very little in the way of factual, practical help.

A personal tutor and motivator is exactly what young people need in such situations; to help them fix things up and get back to the track. Young people require personal tutors who are ready wherever they are, whenever they need some help.
