About the bus: SNAG BioBus is a 14-passenger diesel bus running on bio-diesel. Future plans for the BioBus project are a full conversion to vegetable oil, installation of solar panels, mobile library, recording studio and organic juice bar. The Bus currently serves SNAG urban Native youth by providing life-science educational curriculum around this integral environmental sustainability project. The BioBus also serves youth by providing them transport to Native community events, pow-wows and traditional ceremonies and educational forums.
Booking transport: The BioBus is currently available for rent to community organizations, schools, groups and/or individuals who would like to be provided transport and/or tours! Please contact snagmagazine @ yahoo.com to book your ride today! All proceeds go to reach our conversion goals. Click here for more rental information.
Mission: Our mission for the SNAG BioBus project is to teach Native youth the importance of reduction of fossil fuel use, alternative energy sources, cycles of fossil fuel production and pollution, environmental sustainability, project planning and accomplishment, and living in balance with our natural world.
The goal of providing clean mobility to urban youth is to provide opportunities to expand their life experience and knowledge of their Native traditions. We also aim to provide mobile music/media workshops to youth in rural and reservation areas. The BioBus will be fully equipped to bring these resources to youth in areas that lack resources to modern media outlets.
The final component of SNAG BioBus is to provide Native youth with job experience and management skills through the mobile juice bar. The juice bar will also serve as an educational tool for healthy living/eating and a self-sustaining income earning component for SNAG and its youth leadership.
