What happens when 12 Dartmouth students take a 37-foot veggie oil powered bus road tripping across the US?

Well, education for one! If you're in the Chapel Hill area tomorrow,

"The Big Green Bus and its crew will roll into Morehead’s parking lot at 9:30 a.m., June 18. From 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the crew will give public tours of the bus, explain how its engine works and provide information comparing the energy use of an SUV versus a hybrid vehicle."

From UNC's website, here are more details about The Big Green Bus:

"The mission of the Big Green Bus is to promote education and discussion about environmental responsibility, global energy issues and to show that alternative fuels are available for use right now."

They are also scheduled to stop in Raleigh this Thursday, but I've yet to find details on when and where. Be sure to post a comment below if you know.

Also, check out all the tour stops, meet the crew, and find out how it all works!
