This 16-year-old is the founder of Turn Grease into Fuel (TGIF), a sustainable program that collects waste cooking oil from local residents and restaurants, then converts it into biodiesel fuel. The fuel is used to heat the homes of families in need. With 145 participating restaurants and businesses in 22 towns and 20 public receptacles in three states, TGIF has collected over 170,000 gallons of waste cooking oil and helped heat the homes of over 290 families to date. Baby, It’s Cold Inside allows young people across the country to help with Cassandra’s initiative in a fun and local way.
