By signing this petition you can help create a widespread OIL CHANGE by encouraging motor oil companies to pursue petroleum alternatives. Help us get biodegradable, renewable and non-toxic BIO-based oil into the hands of consumers.
DID YOU KNOW?
Every year 10 billion gallons of petroleum-based motor oil and other industrial lubricants are released into our oceans and environment globally from human activity.
Nearly 40% of pollution in America’s waterways is caused by used motor oil, making motor oil one of the world’s worst environmental pollutants. It leaks from cars onto roadways where is it washed into lakes, rivers and oceans.
Used petroleum-based oil burned as fuel releases over 36 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents into the atmosphere each year. Replacing petroleum based lubricating oil with a renewable alternative would eliminate this release, the equivalent of taking 7.5 million cars off the road.
It’s time for an OIL CHANGE.
