Everyday, students on Simcoe County School Buses travel a collective 87,000 km's. Most of these buses are running on Diesel. The possibility for biodiesel is here, it is just not being taken advantage of. Biodiesel cuts overall emissions from a vehicle by 80%. Sign this petietion if you think Simcoe should make the switch.

I was looking at the old exhaust clouds this morning while waiting for the bus and it just feels so preventable especially since the tech is sitting right there. People keep messaging me about the air quality around the schools and honestly it hits home because I remember how thick that smoke felt when I was younger.

I honestly cannot believe how fast this is moving and it makes me think maybe the people in charge actually have to listen now. It is wild to imagine all those buses running cleaner because of a few clicks on a screen but here we are and the momentum feels completely unstoppable.

If it helps save the planet and keeps the gas prices lower long term then count me in.

80% reduction is huge. why are we still burning the old stuff? lets clean up the air for the kids.

So much pollution on our roads. This is a common sense change.
