Field Museum “Veg-ucates” Chicago
The Field Museum unveiled its Renewable Energy Vehicle Program Wednesday, Oct. 17. at Gurdon S. Hubbard High School for 30 freshman and sophomore high school students. The eco-friendly van, which resembles the magic school bus come to life, is powered by vegetable oil and carries a solar-powered laptop and iPod docking station, as well as a veggie-fueled go-kart. The van will be used as a school on wheels throughout Chicagoland to teach two major topics: alternative fuel choices and alternative energy.
