TROMA AND BIO-DIESEL FORM ALLIANCE AT CANNES FILM
FESTIVAL
THE TOXC AVENGER ENDORSES ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY
(AND EDIBLE) FUEL
SOURCE WITH ENERGREEN
Cannes, May 17, 2002- Today at Cannes, Enegreen-Biodiesel announced
an alliance with Troma Entertainment to promote the use
of Bio-Diesel, a approved Diesel fuel source that is less
toxic than table salt, as biodegradable as sugar, and smells like
French fries when used! Made from any vegetable oil and able to
run in any diesel engine, Bio-Diesel is easy enough to
produce that you can make it from used deep fryer oil in your
own kitchen! And it’s edible!
Troma and Energreen will begin a campaign for Bio-Diesel
on the Vans 2002 Warped Tour across North America. The
Toxic Avenger will be on hand to educate tour-goers about
Bio-Diesel, and Bio-Diesel will be used to power Troma’s Tour
Bus and generator for the “Tromaville” section of the Warped
Tour. Bio-Diesel will also be used to fuel the entire tour on
select dates.
For years, Troma has supported environmental action and taken
steps to raise awareness with films such as Class of Nuke
‘Em High, environmental events like the ECO/Troma/Kodak
Recycling Program at Cannes for the last two years, and the
environmentally minded, hit cartoon series The Toxic Crusaders.
Now, Troma has recognized the unlimited potential of Bio-Diesel
and, with the help of EnerGreen-Biodiesel and The
Toxic Avenger, they’re spreading the word: Bio-Diesel
will revolutionize the way you drive your car!
European countries such as France and England have been exposed
to Bio-Diesel for years; however, it is virtually unheard of in
America. This is due to the automobile industry and the U.S.
government, (who are in reality only goofy sidekicks to the real
villain, the global petroleum industry). For example, Volkswagen
has approved all of their engines for use with Bio-Diesel in Europe,
but will not do so in the United States because of pressures from
the government and fear of attempting to take a step forward in
the face of the status quo.
Troma has always made movies of the future, now are supporting
fuel of the future! EnerGreen and Troma are dedicated to seeing
the world know that they are capable of using a safer, cleaner,
renewable diesel fuel for the same price of petroleum fuel (which
is not renewable and produces toxic exhaust). Join Toxie in mopping
up the Environment with EnerGreen-Biodiesel!
EnerGreen-Biodiesel is further dedicated to the promotion and support of
the existing producers and distributors of Bio-Diesel in the United
States, as they expand Bio-Diesel’s availability across the country
to meet burgeoning demand, even as EnerGreen moves toward completion
of its own production facility in 2003. For more information on
