AURORA, Colo. (November 11, 2005) - A Wal-Mart supercenter here will recycle used cooking oil to help heat the store, and turn fresh produce, deli, meat, bakery and dairy food waste into compost. The experiments are two of 50 environmentally friendly measures being tested in the supercenter it opened Wednesday. It's the retailer's second ecologically-friendly experimental store; the first one opened in July in a warmer climate, McKinney, Texas. When heat is required, the cooking oil that's been used to fry chicken in the deli will be collected and burned with used motor oil from the store's Tire and Lube Express area in a waste-oil boiler. The generated heat will be directed into the store's heating, ventilation and radiant floor heating system. It's expected to reduce the store's use of natural gas by just under 22,000 therms per year, according to Wal-Mart. The store's produce, deli, meat, bakery and dairy food waste will be separated from other waste, compacted and delivered to A1 Organics, Eaton, Colo., where it will be turned into compost, which will be available for purchase in the store.

There are advantages to being typecast, however, as horror veteran Christopher Lee discovered after playing Dracula for the first time in 1958.
"I do not regret anything," he said.
Playing the Count gave him "a name, a fan club and a second-hand car, for all of which I was grateful".
