SAN DIEGO, CA. A grant from Clean Air USA was used to provide graphics on the biodiesel pump at the Pearson Ford Fuel Depot where legendary entertainer and world renowned humanitarian Willie Nelson joined with celebrated actress and biodiesel advocate Daryl Hannah to open the West Coast's first "Bio Willie" pump. 

Proceeds from the online store operated by Clean Air USA were also used to provide an all weather outdoor banner at the one of a kind alternative fuel station and learning center, which contracts with the San Diego Public Schools to provide hands on environmental curricula for area youth.

The mission of Clean Air USA is to improve the quality of air and health by raising funds to be used in the direct support for those providing fuel or installing biodiesel pumps at fueling stations in neighborhoods and truck stops around the nation.

Clean Air USA is an alliance of both concerned citizens and organizations that share a common vision that our nation's future health and well being is dependent on our ability to develop an alternative fuels infrastructure today so that cleaner domestic fuels can find a permanent place our nation's energy portfolio.

It is the purpose of Clean Air USA to work with interests in communities around the country to identify the resources and individuals needed to make alternative fuel the fuel of choice for our nation's truckers and the millions of others that operate vehicles now solely dependent on toxic imported fuels.
