In a Northwest Atlanta neighborhood during summer 2008, used grease collected from local fast food restaurants was processed by local residents to bio-diesel fuel 100% or B100. B100 can be used to power diesel generators and other diesel equipment, machinery, and vehicles. In Africa, palm kernel oil was converted to bio-diesel fuel 100% or B100.

The Truly Living Well Urban Organic Farms farming philosophies were in action during the plowing phase and throughout the growing seasons. TRYCOPE after-school program youth and community residents maintained and ate fresh veggies from the Graham Garden at Magnolia Park.
