Moving In The Right Direction!
In an effort to protect our enviroment
from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
reduce our dependents on foreign oil and thus elminating support of countries supporting terrorism.
The Watts Family has announced the purchase of the first E85 Ethanol Hearse. This hearse is the first of it's kind and a step in the right direction for our enviroment.

Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
E85 also provides important reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. When made from corn, E85 reduces lifecycle GHG emissions (which include the energy required to grow and process corn into ethanol) by 15-20% as compared to gasoline. E85 made from cellulose can reduce emissions by around 70 percent as compared to gasoline.
Why Do This
The protecting of our environment and our country is everyone’s responsibility. The Watts Family feels that it is their responsibility as community leaders to lead the way. Our goal is to protect our world so that future generations can experience the beauty of a green tree. |

What Is E85 Ethanol
Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from plants. Essentially non-drinkable grain alcohol, ethanol is produced by fermenting plant sugars. It can be made from corn, sugar cane, and other starchy agricultural product. The cellulose in agricultural wastes such as waste woods and corn stalks (also know as "cellulosic ethanol") can also be used as a base. In the United States, most ethanol is currently made from corn, although because of rapidly developing research, cellulosic ethanol may soon become a larger part of the market.
Benefits
One the benefits of ethanol as a vehicle fuel is due to its ability to replace gasoline from imported oil and thus eliminating supporting countries supporting terrorism. The United States is currently the world's largest ethanol producer, and most of the ethanol we use is produced domestically from corn grown by American farmers thus protecting American Jobs.
