NEIL YOUNG - NEIL YOUNG GOES GREEN ON GREENDALE TREK

Rock legend NEIL YOUNG is going green on his upcoming GREENDALE tour - he's the latest musician to fill his tourbus with Biodiesel.

The HEART OF GOLD singer has agreed to use the new environmentally-friendly fuel on his upcoming American tour after green activists impressed him with the idea.

Biodiesel, a cleaner burning alternative fuel, is produced from domestic resources such as soybean oil and recycled cooking oil.

He says, "I think it is incumbent upon me to do everything that I can to try to live up to Sun Green's version of what the world should be like."

Sun Green is a character from his environmental concept album Greendale.

Young adds, "Biodiesel has 75 to 80 per cent less pollution than normal diesel. We're just trying to make a statement: 'Hey, this is something you can do right now. I could be driving around in my SUV or Hummer burning vegetable oil.'"

Other rockers who have heaped praise on the alternative fuel, after using it to fuel tourbuses, include BONNIE RAITT and JANE'S ADDICTION."
