Description
Students in the Sweetwater Union School district ride to campus on buses that use liquid fuels. They’re taught in buildings powered by natural gas.
Students are learning about saving the environment while surrounded by things destroying it.
“We're being taught - hey climate change is bad - but yet we're contributing to the problem,” said Izayah Ringfield, a student at Chula Vista High School.
So student leaders at campuses across the district decided to take action. They came up with a plan to leave their schools more environmentally friendly than when they arrived.
Those moves include converting their entire bus fleet from gas to electric, adding electric vehicle charging stations on campus, and getting the school board to agree that all new construction will be built without gas infrastructure.
