Evie Sobczak is a young science rock star who ... wanted to grow algae and turn it into biofuel.

And she totally did. Sobczak engineered all of her equipment herself, creating a totally chemical-free way to grow algae, extract the oil, and use it as biodiesel. Plus, her process produced as much as 20 percent more oil than current methods, which could make algae biofuel cheaper. She recently won first place at Intel’s International Science and Engineering Fair for her process ...as Sobczak says ...

"I really believe algae could be our next fuel source because it doesn’t take a lot of land and it doesn’t take away from our food source. And if you use my processes, you don’t use any chemicals, so it’s not harming our environment. I live in Florida, so we have a lot of algae problems, so I thought why not use something negative to help our world?"

MARATHON | A tiny island that was an early 1900s base camp for workers who built the historic Florida Keys OverSea Railroad has gone green.

Keys officials on Friday marked the conversion of the island's electrical system to solar power, making the educational facility and visitor attraction energy-efficient.
