The 15-person crew of the Big Green Bus aims to raise awareness of energy conservation and environmental responsibility. This year they are travelling in a 1989 MCI coach-style bus with an engine re-built to run on waste vegetable oil and an interior renovated to promote green living. The bus is a rolling science fair, outfitted with a variety of exhibits that highlight five areas of green living: reduce, reuse, and recycle; energy efficiency; cleaner and renewable energy and fuel; food choices; and action through voting on the local, state, and national levels.
The Big Green Bus enjoys continued support from Waste Management, Newman's Own®, Inc., The Timberland Company, and Changents.com.
