For Step It Up 2007, Our club had the NOLS bus come to our school. The NOLS bus is a vegetable-oil powered bus that has solar panels on its roof to power the lights and the T.V. inside. The NOLS bus is sponsored by Stonyfield Farm and is manned by a group of capable individuals. We had about eighty students and teachers who saw the bus. While there, they listened to a description of the bus and more about renewable energy sources and sustainable living. After the bus had left, the school was buzzing; people had thought that it was really cool. All in all, it was a sign that we are Stepping It Up!
