A major setback for the environment in New York has been announced, as the state has pushed back its mandate for electric school buses by five years. Originally set to take effect in 2027, the new deadline is now 2032. This decision comes as a blow to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in the state's schools. The delay has sparked concerns among environmental advocates and experts, who argue that the state's inaction will hinder its ability to meet its climate goals and create a healthier environment for its children.
