Green issues are always on his mind: This country singer is on the road again with his own line of alternative fuel: biodiesel that sells under the name BioWillie. His business model is “buy local, sell local,” a theme that echoes his work with Farm Aid, an organization he helped found more than 20 years ago to assist family farmers.

Nelson has also been active in supporting the use of hemp in clothing and fuel, and protecting horses from slaughter.
