"Biodiesel Rocks" at Volunteer Landing

The team at the Alabama game
Beginning this year, the ETCFC began a new way to reach out to the community and discuss alternative fuels, more specifically, biodiesel. Through partnering with the local radio station B-97.5, we engaged Tennesseans and visiting team fans in learning about alternative fuels and biodiesel. Some are quick conversations, some are longer discussions, but talk about biodiesel we do!

We attended every home game except Florida, which was expected to be washed out by a hurricane's remnants (and wasn't). All in all, we probably talked to 500 people, of which maybe 50 were really engaged into discussion about biodiesel and how it can benefit our community and our country. We plan to be back next year with even more info and action for home game attendees!

If you have any questions about this event, just contact Jonathan at 865-974-3625 or jgoverly@utk.edu
