School buses are one of the largest mass transit programs in the United States. Every school day, some 440,000 yellow school buses transport more than 24 million children to and from schools and school-related activities. At the current time, the vast majority of the school buses are powered by heavy-duty diesel engines and consume conventional #2 diesel fuel (although a small share of school bus engines now in use are designed for gasoline).
Anyone who has ever had to sit in traffic behind a diesel-fueled bus will understand concerns about children who ride buses to and from school each day. Pollution from diesel vehicles has health implications for everyone, especially children. The use of biodiesel can reduce that threat. Because it works in any diesel engine with few or no modifications, biodiesel offers schools a relatively inexpensive option for an immediate solution to air quality concerns. As a result, several thousand school buses in the US are running on blends of biodiesel and reporting success:
Olympia, Illinois School District began using a B2 blend in August 2002 in all 33 of its school buses and about 20 operation and maintenance support vehicles such as lawnmowers, pickup trucks and tractors. The 377 square mile school district is the second largest school district in the state after Cook County outside Chicago. The buses travel 4,000 miles a day, or an average of 600,000 miles a year.
"We're thrilled to be using biodiesel - a fuel that can be used in all our diesel vehicles with no engine modifications,
Health Benefits: Pollution from diesel buses has
health implications for everyone, especially the children
inside them. In 2002 the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency released a health assessment of
diesel engine exhaust. The assessment concluded
that long term inhalation exposure is likely to pose a
lung cancer hazard, and other lung damage. Also,
there is evidence that diesel exhaust inhalation exacerbates
existing allergies, bronchitis, and asthma
symptoms because of its significant levels of particulate
matter. Studies also show that children riding
in school buses are subject “self-pollutio
occurs when diesel exhaust enters the passenger
cabin and becomes trapped and concentrated. Children
are more susceptible to the particulate matter
(and subsequent health risks) than healthy adults
because children breathe faster, and their respiratory
systems are not fully developed.
Economic Benefits: Under Pennsylvania’s Act 178,
the State will pay for the incremental cost of using
biodiesel for fleets belonging to entities such as
school districts, municipalities and non-profits. This
means that fleets can use biodiesel at no added cost,
regardless of the difference in fuel prices.
Biodiesel increases the lubricity of the fuel, which
leads to longer engine life, protection against fuel
injector failure, lower maintenance costs and less
equipment downtime. Ultimately these equipment
improvements have a very positive economic impact
for school districts that use biodiesel.

the felling of hope is gone..
the sparkly light in my eyes burned out
the only thing's I feel are Pain, hurt burning,
I'm gone there's nothing, nothing for me to grab,
I'm trying to hold on, to anything something to hold me...
but when I reach out know one's there..
I just keep falling.
the funny thing is I'm getting use to falling.. every time I get something it lets me go...
I don't think I'm going to fight for it this time I'm not.. I'm not going to be
the one getting hurt,
Cause I think this time I'm going to stay happy
only time can tell me what's going to happen
If I was king for ah day
All my worries would go away
Shinning like my dreams
If I was king for ah day
So many things would fly away
So now the dreams are gone
And all hope is shone to be here
And not alone
If I was king for ah day
All the glory would blaze just to so
I was King for a day
I’ve been prying all Night an Day
Just to Be KING FOR AH DAY
If I was king for ah day all my worries would just go away
My dreams shinning like the midnight Sky
Holding the Glory up High
Now I can touch the Sky
As The King for ah Day
