To the editor:

Thanks for running the article about zero-emission school buses (Weekly News, March 13, 2024). The bill would not have been possible except for the work of a broad coalition of Seattle climate and education activists, including Climate Action Families. The CAF website gives the history: “It started in 2013 to host the Washington chapter for Plant for the Planet. Our community trained over 600 youth in climate justice and participated in countless actions. Lessons learned brought us to developing this movement, knowing we must move quickly, and with care, into a new world.”

CAF programs include Youth Climate Justice Ambassador-in-Training, Parent Climate Leadership Program and Healthy Homes for All Campaign. Check out their accomplishments and activities blog at climateactionfamilies.org.
