Hop aboard a biodiesel bus and head out across the great West of the United States!  Spread the word about clean fuel and wash dishes, perform or even help prepare meals  at local eating establishments in exchange for vegetable oil to fuel your journey!   Travel and spread cheer to the people you meet  as  you create a sense of kindness and friendship within your group  through working  together to plan your route, create the menu, set up camp, and tackle all the exciting challenges of living and traveling together as a close-knit group.  By doing things for others you help build relationships, foster connections, inspire others and feel the power of kindness to create positive social change as people continue to pay it forward. 

Your group will meet with Native American, Latino migrant workers, the homeless and learn about the varied cultures of the Western United States. Work side by side with local gardeners, volunteers and avid environmentalists while getting your hands dirty working in organic gardens and building trails through the woods.  You will have the opportunity to rock climb in Yosemite, traverse deep canyons, raft the rapids of the South Fork River and hike through the Bad Lands. Experience the diverse landscape and cultures of the Western States while spreading good will, practicing random acts of kindness and working towards preserving the country.

Travel throughout the West in a biodiesel bus.

Explore the Southwest, the California coast, Appalachia and the Northeast. 

Experience the rich history and cultures of the United States.
