Renewable Natural Gas (RNG): The Underdog Fuel That’s Ready to Play!

-



I recently found an article regarding Renewable Natural Gas - which is relevant to my line of work. Interested in how it will impact us? Read on!

RNG is like the kid on the bench with superstar potential – but environmental regulators aren’t passing it the ball. Even though RNG can go carbon-negative by turning methane from landfills and farms into fuel, it’s still not getting the same love as battery-electric or hydrogen. And fleets that know it’s a game-changer are getting frustrated.

At a recent industry conference, folks from Waste Management and Cummins pointed out that RNG-fueled trucks are already on the road, doing their eco-thing without the complex filters and costs of diesel. Not to mention, RNG doesn’t throw a tantrum with volatile prices like diesel does. It’s affordable, scalable, and already powering North America’s largest fleet of RNG trucks – over 13,000 strong!

While RNG isn’t the shiny new electric toy, it’s a solid, sustainable MVP with a proven track record. As Cummins’ Matt Spears put it, “RNG isn’t just a pit stop on the road to zero emissions. It’s a real contender.” Come on, regulators – let the underdog play!😂

In this post, I want to talk share how I’ll be building my learning environment in a way that helps students  experience   Assessment  of ,  for , or  as  Learning  ideas first-hand. Because here’s the thing: ownership of learning can’t be handed to anyone in a lecture. It’s something you feel when the conditions are right—when the learning becomes yours (Earl, 2013). You’ll Catch the Shift When... Here’s how I’m shaping my class so students begin to naturally shift from doing the work for a grade to doing it for their growth : 1. They’ll Set the Bar, Not Just Meet It Instead of me telling students what “good” looks like all the time, they’ll work with examples, create their own success criteria, and revisit their goals. In my  Effective Meal Planning course, for example, they’ll co-create a checklist with their team based on what they  think makes a strong meal plan—not just what I think. Why? Because once you define success, yo...

Comments on Brookfield Chapter 8 (Teaching in Diverse Classrooms)

  In The Skillful Teacher , Brookfield (2015) emphasizes the importance of teaching in diverse classrooms. Students come from different backgrounds, experiences, and learning styles, so educators must recognize and respond to these differences. Effective teaching involves acknowledging personal biases, fostering open discussions, and adapting instructional strategies to support all learners. Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment helps students feel valued and engaged. Application in Adult Trades Training As an adult trades instructor, I can apply Brookfield’s ideas by: Recognizing diverse backgrounds – Adult learners bring varied work experiences, skill levels, and learning preferences. I can adapt my teaching to meet their needs. Encouraging open discussions – Creating a space where students share experiences can enhance learning and build confidence. Using multiple teaching methods – Combining hands-on practice, visual aids, and real-world examples ensures all ...
