This blue bio-diesel beast was spotted outside of Alcyone this afternoon. Not only does it run on vegetable oil, but four photovoltaic panels power onboard electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones, cameras and stereo – and what's more – the interior has bamboo hardwood flooring!
What's it doing in South Lake Union? According to their website, they just made a stop at the University of Washington yesterday and plan on being in Iowa by Wednesday, May 14.
What's BioTour all about? You may have already guessed at it, but here's the mission:
BioTour is a journey that aims to enliven the Sustainability Movement while exploring the depths of America—the people, land and cultures. BioTour addresses the vital issues of climate change, environmental degradation and peak oil while presenting pathways toward sustainability in renewable energy and active democracy.Check out biotour.org for more information. And guess what? They have a social network just like us! Join both to win extra points.
I couldn't locate the crew for an interview, but they were likely here to check out the p-patch and SLU's other green features.
Hope you enjoyed your time here and good luck on the rest of your tour. Come back and see us soon!
