Hilltrip’s First Carbon-Offset Offset Project: The Biodiesel Trip
The first Carbon-Offset project to be supported by Hilltrip is The Biodiesel Trip, which will help Kathleen Marcotte convert her car to run on biodiesel to travel south of Whistler and than back to Quebec. While traveling Kate will be writing stories about her biodiesel trip and they will be available here on TerraTrip.org’s blog for everyone to read.
An Unconventional Adventure has Just Begun
In July, an unconventional adventure has just begun, a project, a story and a dream in our reality; an experience that will make my difference. My name is Kathleen Marcotte and I am jumping into a project that witch consist in traversing North America in a bio-diesel car.
The idea came up to me after a discussion on the phenomenal rising price of fuel these days. Then the light came; what if I could change the diesel in my car by vegetal oil? After some research I realize that it was possible to change the diesel in my car to oil very easily. I lived in Whistler for 2 years and to see the beauty surrounding us being destroyed so quickly, I needed to do my part and pose concrete actions.
A good thing for the environment and my engine! All that is needed is the time and dedication to do it. A big thank you to Marie at Hilltrip’s witch believed in the project from the start and helped to make it happen.
Taking on this adventure takes preparation but since my car is already running on diesel I don’t need to do much on it other than change my gas filter. Before taking off, Randy Smith at Podium Auto Detail in Function Junction verified my car and insured my car was ready take on this North American road trip. Thanks Randy for your time. You can find Randy at #15 1209 Alpha lake road or call for an appointment at 604-938-3591.
