What's the problem you are trying to solve?: 
I have a vision of the severely marginalized students and teachers in Cecil County, Maryland at the Providence School getting a real hands-on, environmental and engineering project.  I want the project to put job experience and class skills into the concept of making sustainable choices for the environment and their local community by how we drive vehicles and use resources.
Students at the alternative school due to learning or disciplinary issues are those I want involved.  The momentum of helping this small school in turn is creating a lot of stir among local high school science classes.  Several honors chemistry and physics classes want to help the CAP students make this WVO bus a success and a huge learning opportunity. 
Why is it important to you?: 
My idea is to give the students of the Providence School access to learning in and about environmentally sustainable solutions in transportation and wasted resources.  Then I can make it accessible to students in all of Cecil County, just by driving up to their front doors!  We cannot watch any media any more without a message about clean coal, hybrid cars, “green” products, or electricity waste.  Those same ads are of companies fighting hard for students who know science, math, and technology.  Why not give the same optimistic, solutions-oriented projects to students for research, play, and train?
A key part of this vision is my passion for the environment!  Every day, millions of cars are driving throughout America. The United States imports more than 60% of its petroleum, two-thirds of which is used to fuel vehicles in the form of gasoline and diesel. The demand for petroleum imports is increasing. With much of the worldwide petroleum reserves located in politically volatile countries, the United States is vulnerable to supply disruptions.   Our national security and the Cecil County culture of farm families would really benefit by connecting our own job needs to our available resources.
Using biodiesel also reduces greenhouse gas emissions because carbon dioxide released from biodiesel combustion is offset by the carbon dioxide sequestered while growing the soybeans or other feedstock. Using B20 reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.   In addition, using the kitchen grease from our local restaurants will save the cost of disposal as well as make a waste product the main useful fuel for the bus!  
What's your plan of action?: 
NorthBay is just such a place that is eager to address the same issues as I do!  NorthBay connects environmental issues with the social challenges facing adolescents today, (teen pregnancy, drug use, dropping out of school, etc) empowering them to believe that education and personal growth are the keys to successful futures.  To reach the audience, I will need to have the bus at the Providence School and put the tools and materials in their hands.  To address the environmental and economic problems and concurrently give clear jobs skills to troubled students, we need to have the bus work properly in all weather, in all waste oils, and in all schools. Together, this safe atmosphere can empower students and professionals to ask new questions, engage in newly advanced subjects, and have first hand experience with methods to integrate these lessons in their own schools.

What's the problem you are trying to solve?: 
I have a vision of the severely marginalized students and teachers in Cecil County, Maryland at the Providence School getting a real hands-on, environmental and engineering project.  I want the project to put job experience and class skills into the concept of making sustainable choices for the environment and their local community by how we drive vehicles and use resources.
Students at the alternative school due to learning or disciplinary issues are those I want involved.  The momentum of helping this small school in turn is creating a lot of stir among local high school science classes.  Several honors chemistry and physics classes want to help the CAP students make this WVO bus a success and a huge learning opportunity.

Why is it important to you?: 
My idea is to give the students of the Providence School access to learning in and about environmentally sustainable solutions in transportation and wasted resources.  Then I can make it accessible to students in all of Cecil County, just by driving up to their front doors!  We cannot watch any media any more without a message about clean coal, hybrid cars, “green” products, or electricity waste.  Those same ads are of companies fighting hard for students who know science, math, and technology.  Why not give the same optimistic, solutions-oriented projects to students for research, play, and train?
A key part of this vision is my passion for the environment!  Every day, millions of cars are driving throughout America. The United States imports more than 60% of its petroleum, two-thirds of which is used to fuel vehicles in the form of gasoline and diesel. The demand for petroleum imports is increasing. With much of the worldwide petroleum reserves located in politically volatile countries, the United States is vulnerable to supply disruptions.   Our national security and the Cecil County culture of farm families would really benefit by connecting our own job needs to our available resources.
Using biodiesel also reduces greenhouse gas emissions because carbon dioxide released from biodiesel combustion is offset by the carbon dioxide sequestered while growing the soybeans or other feedstock. Using B20 reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.   In addition, using the kitchen grease from our local restaurants will save the cost of disposal as well as make a waste product the main useful fuel for the bus!

What's your plan of action?: 
NorthBay is just such a place that is eager to address the same issues as I do!  NorthBay connects environmental issues with the social challenges facing adolescents today, (teen pregnancy, drug use, dropping out of school, etc) empowering them to believe that education and personal growth are the keys to successful futures.  To reach the audience, I will need to have the bus at the Providence School and put the tools and materials in their hands.  To address the environmental and economic problems and concurrently give clear jobs skills to troubled students, we need to have the bus work properly in all weather, in all waste oils, and in all schools. Together, this safe atmosphere can empower students and professionals to ask new questions, engage in newly advanced subjects, and have first hand experience with methods to integrate these lessons in their own schools.
