Introducing BioTour: Journey into a Sustainable Future

BioTourDOTorg
BioTour is an environmental education non-profit that traverses the country on school buses that have been converted to run on waste vegetable oil and solar paneled electrical power. This fall, on BioTour's fourth national tour, thirteen young people hit the road in two converted school buses. We visited 41 states and held dozens of educational events at universities, K-12 schools, and community gatherings. The BioTour bus is working towards building a national movement for Sustainability--through both smart policies and realistic practices in renewable energy.

Episode 1 of the BioTour on the Campaign Trail series.

    • Hey Guys, Interesting read on the changes you've made to your bu. I live in High River, Alberta and have 3 buses that I've been using to steadily grow a commuter biz to Calgary. I've just bought a newer more fuel efficient bus and would love to find out how to put a renewable oil system on a 40' bluebird diesel. How feasible would it be in a cold environment like ours to do that?

    • Bio Tour,

      I am from Virginia Commonwealth University. Your bus came to visit us 2 years ago, how can we get you to come again? We are working on a big event planned for October, would love to get in touch but have been trouble finding a contact representative for you all.

    • You all are fantastic.
      I ran into you at the Students for Sustainability Conference that was in the Washington Area. My friend and I seriously wanted to move right in onto the bus.
      Anyway, somehow John Butler came up when in the bus and we chatted with one of you about him. Ocean by John Butler is playing in the background of this video, which I think is funny.
      Please keep going and doing what your doing.
      And will I see you at Powershift 09?
      :)

      Thanks , Eliza! Ocean is an incredible song. We love John Butler Trio. They have donated a song for our new benefit CD. It's going to be an incredible collection, so stay tuned! We'll see you at PowerShift-- make sure to come find us! Thanks for checking out our videos. Pass them on to your friends and family. We really need help getting the word out!
      Grease and Love,
