Washington State legislature is considering a 'green makeover' of schools. The school buildings would become more energy-efficient, thousands of jobs would be created locally, and we'd save money in the long run. Washington unemployment is officially 9.5% (the real rate is much higher), so it would be good to get more jobs - even if temporary - especially in construction where we've lost so many jobs lately.
I think that we should start the 'green makeover' of schools by updating the school buses first. Have you ever driven behind a school bus? They are the nastiest things on the road! The pollution emitted from just one bus is overwhelming. Has anyone ever looked into that?
