Several school systems in the east and across the state are going green.
Edgecombe County Schools were showing off their efforts Tuesday to reduce the emissions produced by school buses by up to twenty percent.
The program is part of a sixteen county "bio diesel blitz" initiative offered by the Department of Public Instruction. Through the program, the state reimburses the school district 50 cents for every gallon of fuel purchased. (The success of the biodiesel fuel industry relies heavily on biodiesel testing <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s32Ke2VzrqU>, not only at the production level but at the consumer level, where degraded fuel may cause engine failures. Of major concern to diesel and biodiesel users is the very real possibility that water has contaminated their fuel. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YcczdvPyAk). The potential catastrophic impact of this problem is discussed at length in this video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lh4qhXc_5s&feature=youtube_gdata.
