Going to school can be hazardous to our kid’s health

A recent study found that children on diesel school buses are exposed to 5 to 15 times more air toxins than the rest of the population. 24 million children travel on 454,000 school buses nationwide. Those buses travel more than four billion miles each year and these kids spend 3 billion hours on these busses. About 90 percent of these busses run on diesel fuel, annually emitting 3,000 tons of cancer-causing soot and 95,000 tons of smog-causing compounds.

"Each year, one school bus emits the equivalent of 150 cars we want to make it the healthiest way to get to school so i would like every school bus in america be a hybrid bus and have a built in air purifier it will be healthier and cleaner for the kids and the enviorment
