THE PUSH FOR ELECTRIC BUSES
Campaign organizer Ruth Kamnitzer says there are many health and climate benefits to switching to electric buses. “They're also financially viable in the long run, there's financial savings. And so they're really a great deal all around for schools and for kids,” Kamnitzer said. One of the biggest For Our Kids campaigns underway is lobbying for electric school buses, which campaign organizer Ruth Kamnitzer says is gaining momentum.
