Clean Electric Bus Upgrades For Schools Across Florida

Published by Aliki Moncrief at
Categories

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection recently announced that school districts in Florida’s most polluted and populous regions are eligible to apply for $57 million to replace diesel-fueled school buses with clean electric buses. The funds come from Florida’s share of a settlement between the U.S. EPA and Volkswagen after the carmaker was found to have cheated on emissions requirements. Of the $166 million in funding allocated to Florida, 70% of funds will be allocated to school, transit, and shuttle bus upgrades.

Amid Coronavirus: Black Mistrust of Medicine Looms

Tue, 2020-11-24 10:20 — Jan Booher

Just as the new coronavirus was declared a global pandemic, gym members in New York City frantically called the fitness center where Rahmell Peebles worked, asking him to freeze their memberships.

Peebles, a 30-year-old black man who's skeptical of what he hears from the news media and government, initially didn't see the need for alarm over the virus.

"I felt it was a complete hoax," Peebles said. "This thing happens every two or four years. We have an outbreak of a disease that seems to put everybody in a panic."

Bad Medicine: The Harm That Comes From Racism

Tue, 2020-11-24 10:12 — Jan Booher

 

Racial discrimination has shaped so many American institutions that perhaps it should be no surprise that health care is among them. Put simply, people of color receive less care — and often worse care — than white Americans.

Reasons includes lower rates of health coverage; communication barriers; and racial stereotyping based on false beliefs.

Predictably, their health outcomes are worse than those of whites.
