“Electric school buses are just one more way that good environmental policies help people and nature thrive,” said EDF Associate Vice President for Regional Affairs, Kevin Moran. “We see climate chaos all around us: rivers are drying, forests are burning, and temperatures are rising. We need solutions today. These clean school buses mean cleaner air for our communities, lower fuel and maintenance costs for our schools, and a move towards a cleaner, sustainable future across Arizona.”
With more than 3 million members, Environmental Defense Fund creates transformational solutions to the most serious environmental problems. To do so, EDF links science, economics, law, and innovative private-sector partnerships to turn solutions into action. edf.org
