Big Green Bus tour kick-off

Tuesday, June 10, 5:30-8:30 at Stewart Mott House, 122 Maryland Avenue, NE on Capitol Hill

A dozen Dartmouth students are traveling across country this summer to build support for climate protection action and clean energy transformation at the federal, state and local levels.The Big Green Bus is a former school bus converted to run on waste vegetable oil. Along the way the Green Bus crew stop at restaurants, collect waste vegetable oil,filter it and drive away. The bus has solar panels on the roof to collect power used to supply computers and other electronic equipment. When the bus is parked and conditions are right a small portable wind turbine is used to harvest additional power.

This should be an enjoyable event and also a chance for each of you to exchange ideas about all the recent activity on the Hill on climate and prospects for action in 2009. Besides building support for strong action on climate protection at all levels of government The Green Bus crew are seeking to show that there are many individual actions that can be taken to reduce greenhouse emissions-many at very little cost if you are resourceful.

Best wishes, John (invitation attached)
