"The biodiesel we use is 100 percent, it has no petroleum in it. It was already used in fryers throughout our local area. It's already had one life and now it's going to be used again, which is nice"
About this Quote
The real persuasive move is the story of reuse. "Already had one life" gives waste a narrative arc - redemption, even. It reframes environmental action as common sense thrift rather than moral scolding. Hannah isn't asking you to become a different kind of person; she's implying you can keep driving and still participate in something that feels neighborly, local, and oddly intimate. "Throughout our local area" shrinks the climate crisis down to a familiar geography, suggesting a community loop instead of a distant industrial supply chain. That's strategic optimism: the problem is enormous, so she offers a solution you can picture.
The offhand "which is nice" matters. It underplays the righteousness, signaling taste. In a celebrity context where advocacy can sound like performance, she chooses casual satisfaction over grandstanding. The subtext: sustainability isn't a sacrifice-worthy crusade; it's a practical second act for stuff we'd otherwise throw away.
