 Dartmouth's Big Green Bus Visits Annapolis
Annapolis Green recently welcomed Dartmouth College's Big Green Bus to City Dock. Dubbed "vehicle for change" the Big Green Bus is home to 12 Dartmouth students who will spend the summer crossing the country spreading the word about sustainability and gathering people's stories on the topic everywhere they go. For the Annapolis visit, we asked them to focus on clean water and the Chesapeake Bay. We brought together a crew of "storytellers," who shared their time and insight with these impressionable students. Thank you to all who joined us to tell their own stories as well as to the National Sailing Hall of Fame for use of their parking spaces. Thank you also to Phillips Crab Deck for providing us space to gather and a crabcake sandwich lunch to round out the students' short, but memorable, Annapolis morning!
