Some 200 area students gathered for a special Fields of Fuel screening this morning in Salt Lake City as part of The Sundance Film Festival High School Screening Program. Following the film, Josh was on hand to take questions from the students, who came from the following high schools: Lone Peak, East Hollywood, Park City and East.
Immediately translating what they learned from the film into a plan of action, students asked what they can do to help launch biodiesel in their schools. One young woman asked if it was a good idea to take petitions to local gas stations asking them to carry biodiesel.
After the thirty-minute Q&A, we invited the students to go outside and see the Solazyme car that runs on biodiesel fuel made from algae. On way out, they continued to clamor for buttons, pins, and bumperstickers. And made more comments like "Dude, you mean I can use my diesel car? I already have and just put biodiesel in it? Sweet.”
Elsewhere, FOF continued to garner national media attention. Check out this video about Josh and the Veggie Van on AMC:
