Remember when you were little? You had recess where you could run all around, you had P.E., also known as physical education where you had sports like flag football and kickball, well imagine having nothing like that at your school. At my high school we have no required physical activity. Of course the days of recess are long over but you have to get up and moving sometime, and not just during the passing period from one class to another.
In April of 2007 one of my teachers decided to do something about it.

The Back Porch Energy Initiative is a non profit founded in May of 2007 by six college graduates who wanted to take action on critical local issues in the American southeast. The American southeast has the highest per capita energy consumption values in the country, spending only one fifth the national averages on energy programming and resources. The founders of Back Porch call the southeast home, and we decided to do something about these discouraging figures. In November, we are headed on a ten month tour of the American Southeast on a bus fueled by waste vegetable oil.
