Drive Green at Street Smart

Check out the latest innovations in alternative fuel vehicles from showroom models to electric sports cars at CCSE’s 3rd annual Street Smart San Diego on Sunday, June 7.

Street Smart will feature hands-on exhibits, workshops and displays of a wide variety of alternative fuel vehicles. Hear from industry experts about new and emerging clean transportation technologies, and talk with green vehicle experts on how you can get more mileage for you money and save on insurance rates. You can test drive an electric scooter, and kids can ride solar-powered Big Wheels.

Keynote speakers at Street Smart will be Josh Tickell, director of the award-winning documentary “Fuel,” and John Addison, author of the book Save Gas, Save the Planet.

Joshua Tickell is the author of From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank: The Complete Guide to Using Vegetable Oil as an Alternative Fuel. As a young man, he converted a diesel-powered van to operate on biodiesel and set off on a 25,000-mile, two-year tour of the USA running on fuel made from grease collected at fast-food restaurants. He went on to become one of the nation’s leading experts in biofuels. His latest project is “Fuel,” a documentary film about America’s dependence on fossil fuels that extols the virtues of alternative and sustainable energies.

Author John Addison will be sharing the findings of his new book, Save Gas, Save the Planet: Ride Clean, Ride Together, Ride Less, that explores how many people today are taking new approaches to transportation. His talk explores stories of people who are driving less and driving energy-efficient vehicles. He offers insights into the future of transportation, the auto industry and fuel technologies.

Notable & Quotable

"If we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts. I think we should be developing every kind of alternative fuel that is available to us. That includes hydrogen to soybeans, from solar to wind. Whatever we can find that is going to help us clean up the environment we should be working really hard on developing."
