Big Green Bus Powered by Vegetable Oil and Solar Panels Stops at Saint Viator
August 27, 2010
What’s big and green and environmentally
conscious all over? The Big Green Bus, built by science
and engineering students from Dartmouth College, that’s
what.
The former diesel-run motor coach was retrofitted
six years ago by Dartmouth students, and each summer a
new group takes the bus out on a cross-country tour
promoting alternative fuel and sustainable living.
They stopped Friday at Saint Viator High School in
Arlington Heights, where 2010 Dartmouth graduate Ann
Elise DeBelina of Palatine --- and bus passenger --- had
attended high school.
Her mother, Mary Lee, heads up the
math department.
“Traveling around the country you hear so many
stories and sense so much enthusiasm for the things we
were promoting, like climate change and sustainability,” said DeBelina.
“It really starts with little
things that people can do, that when added up, do make a difference.
