This post marks 8 months left until our cross-country journey begins, and we celebrate with some great news of support!

Verenium, a company that is developing cellulosic ethanol production, is the most recent addition to our list of sponsors! The Cambridge-based company has a research and pilot facility in Louisiana, which we'll be visiting next June. Verenium uses switchgrass, sugarcane, and "energycane" as sources to produce ethanol, with much higher yields per-acre using crops that are far less energy-intensive to grow than corn. We welcome Verenium as a sponsor and thank them for their support! You can learn more about their work at www.Verenium.com

Our latest endorsement comes from the Alliance for Climate Protection, which runs the action campaign at www.WeCanSolveIt.org:
"The McCullough family is proof of the power of living by your values. They raised their energetic sons to be champions for the climate, and now the whole family is successfully spreading the word that youth benefit when fossil fuels are replaced by renewable energy."
The goal of the Alliance is to build a movement that creates the political will to solve the climate crisis.

Be well,
Colin

Hey Colin, absolutely love your idea and hope you prosper on your mission! I would like to ask you if you find in your travels any astonishing photo opportunities of cigarette litter on the road or in the communities you travel, i would be in great debt to you if you could snap a few off and send them my way! the only way i can promise to repay your efforts is to promote your mission to all my followers, and believe me most of the environmentally conscious people that friend me, are way into your idea!!
