Planet Earth Celebration

This past Saturday, NC State EcoCar team members shared a booth with the Clean Cities Coalition in Raleigh at the Downtown Raleigh Planet Earth Celebration. It was an excellent opportunity to share with the public information on projects that students are participating in to promote alternative transportation and sustainable technologies. Many people asked questions regarding the team’s vehicle and about the move to alternative transportation. At our booth were vehicle displays which included the NC Solar Center’s Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV), a vehicle that runs off compressed natural gas, as well as an electric hybrid vehicle. The weather was great and allowed for numerous visitors to learn of what is being done to promote the “Green Movement”
