Bartow, FL – Wind Power, horse power, solar power, knowledge, water from Clouds, C02, bubbles, recycled trash and manure; these are just a few of the award-winning,“out of the box” ideas for future fuels that Polk County students came up with for the 6th Annual Polk Transportation Planning Organization’s (TPO) poster contest. Students created a future transportation vehicle or process and described the fuel they will be using in the year 2030. The students were also asked to keep in mind the lack of fossil fuels in the future and keeping the environment green. The theme, “Transportation of the Future” inspired the minds of the enthusiastic young artists.
