In 2008, fifth-grader Cassandra Lin founded Turn Grease Into Fuel (TGIF) after learning used cooking oil could be converted into affordable, clean-burning biodiesel for home heating. TGIF partners with local restaurants to collect kitchen grease, which is then recycled and distributed to charities assisting families with heating needs. This initiative has already helped offset over two million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.

Lin and her team further championed environmental efforts by drafting Rhode Island's Used Cooking Oil Recycling Act in 2011. Passed into law in 2012, this legislation expanded TGIF's reach, establishing a robust network that effectively addresses community needs while significantly reducing waste and pollution.

The killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have sparked a crucial reckoning with systemic racism, police violence, and inequality in America. These racist ideologies fuel not only social injustices like income disparity, poor housing, and pollution in vulnerable communities, but also hinder the environmental movement by suppressing vital voices.

This "Saving Life on Earth" webinar will explore justice, police brutality, diversity, and biodiversity, emphasizing the critical need to align environmental efforts with the fight against racism. We all share a personal and institutional responsibility to drive lasting change.
