Water to hydrogen gas conversion equipment.	Outside the Local Motion transportation planning office, SEJers were fascinated as Rebecca Grannis explained how she converted her truck to biodiesel — and fuels with filtered restaurant cooking oil.

SEJers danced the night away to the power sounds of Tammy Fletcher and the Disciples.	University of Vermont President and Mrs. Daniel Mark Fogel didn't miss a beat.

Conference attendees and volunteers Naila Fin Moreira and Phil McKenna, with SEJ senior programs associate Carol Nolen (center), helped staff keep things running smoothly all week. Thanks!!

They won fellowships for Michigan State University's Environmental Journalism Boot Camp which was held for 3 days prior to SEJ's Burlington conference.
