Description:: Hello everyone!

For those of you that don't know, my name is Colin Coon and I am a senior at New Gate School in Sarasota, Florida. For my senior year I have been given permission to take on a rather large project. I will be converting a diesel powered vehicle to run on Waste Vegetable Oil and then take it across the country during the months of March and April. I am doing this all on donations, and by selling sponsorship space on the car. I hope to raise $8500 to do this project, and while that might seem like a lot, it really shows how big of a project I am undertaking.

The goal of this trip is to promote the use of alternative fuels, to prove that they work, and to show that anyone can use them. I know I am not the first person to convert a car to run on vegetable oil, nor am I the first person to take one across the country, but that does not matter to me. I want to spread the word that anyone and everyone can be a little more "green" in their daily lives. I hear lots of talk about being more green, but I want to put some action behind that and try to get others to do so also.

I have a website, www.colinsgreenmachine.com, where you can follow me and my upcoming travels over the next several months. I encourage you to take a look at it and read what I have been up to.

This is an amazing experience that I am undertaking, and I'm looking forward to my trip in March. I really hope to make some sort of an impact with this project, even if it is only a small one. So please, have a look around my website, and invite anyone and everyone you may know to this group!!! Also donations are greatly appreciated! Please see my website (under donations) for details on how to donate to my project.

Thanks!
