Replacing one diesel bus can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54,000 pounds each year. The air quality inside a diesel bus is 5x worse than outside the bus. Replacing a diesel bus with an electric bus significantly improves air quality for students inside the bus and for the communities the school serve. Today, climate change is heating our world. Carbon Dioxide emissions from vehicles like school buses can help climate change. If we don’t do something about this problem, it can escalate fast. So, we can face climate change head-on by converting to electric, we are one step closer to eradicating Carbon Dioxide emissions. Electric buses are not as ...https://www.mothersoutfront.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/mof-logo-square.png24002556
