The Big Green Bus is a project that was founded in 2005 to promote sustainability and renewable energy sources run by Dartmouth College students. Students originally converted a used school bus to run on waste vegetable oil (WVO), but in 2009 upgraded to a 1998 MCI coach bus. The interior of the green bus has bamboo floors, recycled glass counter tops, and solar panels to energize the light on this bus. The green bus was redesigned from a conventional bus with the aim to achieve a sustainable yet comfortable living space.

  • The Big Green Bus is a project that was founded in 2005 to promote sustainability and renewable energy sources run by Dartmouth College students. Students originally converted a used school bus to run on waste vegetable oil (WVO), but in 2009 upgraded to a 1998 MCI coach bus. The BGB is part of the Dartmouth Outing Club and is entirely student-run. The group stops at various public events, as well as schools, camps and other gatherings of people to make educational presentations. The program also educates participants about how to manage an environmental project. The BGB provides tips and educational points through its presentations and its websites. The interior of the green bus has bamboo floors, recycled glass counter tops, and solar panels to energize the light on this bus. The green bus was redesigned from a conventional bus with the aim to achieve a sustainable yet comfortable living space. The Green Bus runs on waste vegetable oil collected from restaurants along the trip of the bus. The Green Bus has a 300 gallon tank that would cover 1500 miles. In 2009, fifteen students travelled in the Big Green Bus tour over a 10 week period cross country promoting environmental awareness. (en)
