Ball State Senior Jagjeet Singh Chahal a $1,000 scholarship from Miles Electric Vehicles in an Earth Day Video Contest. What’s more, the California-based company gave an $18,000 electric car (top speed of 25 miles per hours) to Ball State University.
“In the architecture program they are pushing us that in every design you have to have some kind of a sustainable feature,” said Chahal. For example just in a design using passive, solar system instead of using artificial lighting.
Here’s the video made by Chahal on Youtube. Title: No Gas Required
And here’s another video entry on gas fueled cars vs electric and hybrid cars made by Michelle Mann that I liked pretty much.
Anyway, Ball State University’s Natural Resources Club has been preparing for a year for today’s Earth Day event, “No Student left inside.” According to NewsLinkIndiana, students took part in geocaching, a game where you use a GPS device with a location off the web to find hidden items. Besides, there was a solar powered fan operator, and students had to figure out how to connect the wires in order to get the fans to work. Anything interactive and green and fun is doing good for Earth Day. :)
