Make Your Deen Green: Pies to petrol biofuels scheme launched | Edie.net

As Muslims we are instructed not to waste food and edibles. In today's world of consumerism, food is often wasted tremendously in fast food restaurants when it gets cold, in bakeries and super markets all over when the expiry is passed. This initiative is a wonderful way to reuse this “waste” and make something useful from it.

About Aly Balagamwala | DiscoMaulvi

"Abu Ibrahym" Muhammad Aly Balagamwala (AKA DiscoMaulvi) is an occasional blogger/writer, who tries to earn a living as an Entrepreneur (a glorified way of saying he works in his dad's business), and thinks he's a Social Media "Guru", a Social Activist and a Da'ee (that is spends too much time on Facebook/Twitter, sometimes shows up for "causes" and attends a few Islamic events). He joined MM in 2011 as a Writer and is currently a staff member and the Team Lead for the Comments Team. Aly was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan where he currently resides. He became a practicing Muslim during the 4 years he spent at North Carolina State University getting a BS in Textile Chemistry (May Allah reward the wonderful community of Raleigh, NC for that). He is easily accessible via Twitter or through his Public Page on Facebook where you can learn more about him. You can also visit his (mostly defunct) personal blog From The Pulpit ... Sermons of DiscoMaulvi and comment so he still feels like a Blogger. :)

  1. Inspirational move and renewable. It’s better than throwing it away – but perhaps limiting all that energy spent making excess food in the first place is a better way to go.
