The fall season brings up images of changing leaves, football and going back to school.

In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Steamrollers of Steelton-Highspire are the football state champions AND leaders in clean energy. This fall, the players traveled to and from games on some of the state’s first electric school buses.

The pollution-free buses mean healthier air to breathe and fuel savings of at least $20,000 a year for the school. These savings go right back into the school’s educational materials, like lessons based on the buses.

Steelton-Highspire's new electric school buses came from the Environmental Protection Agency’s fast-tracked funding thanks to advocacy from EDF and EDF organization Moms Clean Air Force/Eco Madres.

This work is far from over as thousands of school districts have yet to apply for these grants. And we need your help to keep the momentum going.

Traditional school buses run on fossil fuels and emit pollution that contributes to climate change and health impacts like asthma and heart disease. There’s still more funding available for electric school buses through EPA’s program, and we need to make sure it gets into the hands of the schools and kids that need cleaner air the most.

John, you can support clean energy and clean air for kids and communities by donating to our Fall Membership Drive. Your monthly gift by October 17 at midnight goes twice as far thanks to a $1-for-$1 match from the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust.

Double your impact: Your monthly gift makes twice the difference for clean air. Donate now:
