Here’s a wonderful TED Talk video of a student project on biofuels:

They started without even the benefit of an idea, just an intention. Through a beautiful process of dialog, building allies and collaboration they enlisted restaurants, grease collectors, a biofuel producer, scientists, legislators, fuel distributors, and organizations dedicated to helping the poor and came up with a very inspiring project. I can’t help but wonder how that kind of vision and self-confidence could be engendered in every high school student.
