From the land of tech innovations and sourdough comes another radical idea: making our school buses actually good for the environment. 🌎

Zero Emissions, Zero Excuses

California is going all-in on clean transportation, and school buses are getting a major eco-makeover. The state just dropped a cool $500 million to add 1,000 zero-emission buses to its already impressive fleet. That’s right - while other states are still debating climate change, California is literally driving into the future.

Breaking Down the Numbers

These aren’t just any buses. These electric rides are expected to slash nearly 18,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually - which is basically like taking 4,000 gas-guzzling cars off the road. Even better? Over 70% of these clean buses will serve communities that have historically been hit hardest by pollution.

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just about looking cool (though electric buses definitely do). By 2035, every school bus purchase in California must be zero-emission. We’re talking systemic change that protects kids’ health and fights climate change simultaneously. The state has already funded over 2,300 zero-emission buses, with 1,100 already cruising streets and keeping our air clean.

The future is electric, and it’s rolling through California one school bus at a time. 🚌⚡
