Page 2 of 2 Charles also has other cars which have been converted to
run on biodiesel, including an Audi, Range Rover and 'several' Jaguars.
The biodiesel is not boozed based however, unless your idea of a nice
little tipple is swilling down used cooking oil that is.File under strange but true, he is also said to feed his herds of cows on grass instead of grain as this reduces the amount of flatulence they experience. Less cow farting means less methane emissions, a greenhouse gas. All of this has helped the Prince to reduce his carbon footprint by 18 percent to a still quite staggering 3,081 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Much of this can be accounted for by the amount of travel Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, undertake. A total of 37,000 miles last year. His Royal Oddness has made a vow to reduce those emissions, cows included, by a total of 25 percent before 2012.
