At the beginning of the school year, the biodiesel club successfully brainstormed many possible goals to expand the club and help promote alternative fuels. We thought about producing more biodiesel and teaming up with other companies, or even starting our own company, because a bank had offered us the money. We also discussed turning the club into a non-profit organization. I thought this was the best idea, and the club agreed. However, since it was decided that we would like to expand into a non-profit organization, steps taken to accomplish this goal have come to a screeching hault. I hope to re-inspire that idea, so that hopefully in the future, the club could have the opportunity to expand. We also wanted to talk to other schools. That way more students would be aware of alternative fuels like biodiesel and might even consider starting their own biodiesel club at their school. We also have been needing to buy a new biodiesel truck to collect the oil and grease with, because our old truck does not seem to functioning properly. Finally, we also wanted all of the school buses in Medford to convert to biodiesel, because currently, the emissions coming from those yellow school buses are deadly. That idea, however, did not go over well with the bus company, so we will try to pursue that again later. We have been brainstorming ideas all year, and we have some really great proposals. We have accomplished little projects throughout the year, but my hope is that the club will decide to tackle a bigger project. We continue to come up with creative ways to spread the word of eco-awareness and to get the community involved. I think that if we continue to work with all of these great opportunities coming our way, then we will be very successful in making a difference locally and even outside of our community.
