Bus is Here!
 The
bus is an exciting interactive museum on wheels. Interactive, hands-on
displays in the bus demonstrate how energy efficiency and renewable
energy can mitigate climate change and become an important part
of North America's sustainable energy future.
The Climate Change Bus will be traveling to communities throughout
Atlantic Canada stopping at schools, colleges, universities, town
fairs, trade shows, community events, and just about everywhere
where people are gathering.

BUS DETAILS
"Big Blue" Climate Change Bus: is a public outreach
and education tool designed to demonstrate practical renewable
energy generation and energy efficiency solutions. The bus will
be an engaging multimedia, hands-on learning experience designed
to empower and motivate the general public to take action on climate
change. People of all ages will learn how photovoltaic, wind,
micro-hydro, and biomass energy work and how renewable energy
can complement or be used independently of non-renewable energy.
Visitors will experiment with different types of energy efficient
light bulbs and showerheads and learn about innovative methods
of energy conservation. Fuelled with bio-diesel and complete with
700 Watts of combined wind and photovoltaic power, the Climate
Change Bus is an exciting showcase of renewable energy solutions.
