Dartmouth students vs grownups that were formerly Dartmouth students

The Watch Newspapers - Dartmouth’s Big Green Bus Parks in Telluride
The environmentally retrofitted vehicle is transporting 15 Dartmouth University students around the country this summer as they educate Americans about energy issues, and meet with policymakers, from their vehicle that operates on waste vegetable oil.

To prepare for the trip students read books ranging from Natural Capitalism to Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat and Crowded. They learned how to give presentations and talked to past years' crewmembers. This has helped the Big Green Bus handle some tough crowds, like a group of Dartmouth alumni in Charleston, S.C., some of whom accused the students of being anti-globalization and too extreme in their message.
