minibike, go-cart, riding mower, roto-tiller, hedge trimmer, and air compressor to bio-diesel? I really want to help the environment.

It sounds like you'll need a s**t load of gerbils and a lot of exercise wheels, and some magnets and wire and tons of good luck.

You obviously don't read and know the facts , which is so typically American.

U will get very near the same environment effect as long as u do the same work. The amount of C is where the energy is. As far ad diesel and bio diesel they are the same.

Why the sudden change of heart? Clearly you were not considering the environmental implications of your levels of consumption, both of fuel and of consumer goods, when you purchased these things.
Ill take a leap of faith and just assume you're not being sarcastic, and say that you cannot "convert" all of these items to run on bio diesel. Your best bet is to simply replace them all with electric versions the next time you are going to replace them anyway. As for the SUV... replace it with a diesel truck and then you can go right ahead and run it on bio diesel.

Most of them you can't. You can "convert" the mower and things like that to electric though. You can convert the go-cart and mini-bike to real bikes (human-powered bicycles) instead of lazy-*** noisy worthless vehicles. You can convert you SUV to a car instead of a truck pretending to be a car. Your grill is just going to have to stay like it is.

you could:
walk everywhere
take care of your garden by using manual labour eat vegies and fruit that don't need cooking and use a rake, leaf blowers have to be the ultimate in a piece of equipment for lazy people

Hmm, most seem to have missed your irony....
Still, I've got the perfect and infinitely more efficient alternative to you leaf blower. It's called a rake.

You have a gasoline powered BBQ!?!? Your steaks must taste like absolute sh*t! You can best help the environment by eating your own kook-ing.
