Congrats @JAXPORT! Two new electric cranes have arrived - cutting air pollution, improving energy efficiency, and helping keep our local air cleaner and healthier for everyone. They even generate energy while lowering containers. jaxport.com/two-new-contai…
And the world keeps spinning... EVs are set to hit 25% of all new cars sold in 2025. In Florida, 1 in 10 new cars sold in Q4 2024 was electric. The shift is real. Will Florida lead or fall behind?canarymedia.com/articles/elect…
As others automate and electrify, Florida’s ports can’t fall behind. Cleaner, smarter ports cut delays, costs & local air pollution. In an ecologically vulnerable state, it’s not just smart - it’s essential. tampabay.com/opinion/2025/0…
Florida’s extreme heat makes diesel buses a safety concern. Electric school buses are cleaner, safer, and more economical - happy to see 450+ (so far) in our state! The future is electric! eschoolbusalliance.ca/5-reasons-why-… #CleanSchoolBuses
Attention Florida Ports! $500M is now available through the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) to modernize infrastructure, support electrification & boost freight efficiency. Apply by Sept 10, 2025 Details here: maritime.dot.gov/PIDPgrants #FLPorts #CleanPorts
🌿💡 Now’s the time! Florida Climate Week™ 2025 is your chance to spark real change across Florida. We’re inviting nonprofits, businesses, schools, and passionate individuals to host virtual or in-person events that spotlight climate solutions and innovative action from every…
This is what the future of public transportation looks like - clean, quiet, and all electric! Big congrats to @JTAFLA, @beepAVsolutions and all involved in bringing cleaner air and smarter transit to downtown Jax! smartcitiesdive.com/news/jacksonvi…
Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for signing SB 180 into law, and special thanks to Rep. @FionaForFlorida & Sen. @NickDiCeglie for sponsoring this important bill. A vital step toward stronger coordination & resilience against climate threats. #ClimateResilience
NEW: As the clean energy debate rages on in Washington over the "big beautiful bill," Florida's solar industry is in a panic. The bill's new tax for solar projects will cost jobs and possibly close FL factories, they said. tampabay.com/news/environme…
Congrats to @GladesSchools & @HighlandEFleets! Hurricane season kicked off on June 1st here in the Sunshin state and Glades County is ready. Their 13 electric school buses aren’t just cutting emissions—they’re mobile power hubs for when the lights go out. fox4now.com/news/local-new…
Big congrats to @PortEverglades for committing to shore power for 116 refrigerated containers! This cuts diesel, slashes CO₂ by hundreds of tons/year, reduces noise, and protects community health. A win for clean air & climate! #ShorePower ajot.com/news/port-ever…
Cleaner ports = healthier communities. Electrifying port equipment can cut emissions by up to 98%—a win for public health, climate, and cost savings. #CleanPorts #PublicHealth #ZeroEmissions
Shore power is booming—and with 16 ports and cruise hubs, Florida is primed to lead. It cuts emissions, boosts competitiveness, protects workers and community health—especially for kids, seniors, and those with respiratory issues. #CleanPorts safety4sea.com/shore-power-ma…
For students at Manatee School for the Arts, clean energy at the charter school means more than lower bills—it means better classrooms, improved education programs and a brighter future on campus. And it’s all possible thanks to incentives that are part of the clean energy plan.
Big win for Florida manufacturing & the future of mobility! HOLON is bringing its first autonomous all electric shuttle factory to Jacksonville. Clean, safe, job-creating transportation is good for business! @JAXPORT jaxport.com/automated-vehi…
This week, for Air Quality Awareness Week we are spotlighting our very own @AliRoundWorld's #OnTheMic video, which highlights efforts within Florida to electrify heavy duty government fleet vehicles - a move that keeps our air clean and saves taxpayer dollars.
We took action TODAY for our kids! On #WorldAsthmaDay, we joined advocates across the country to deliver postcards to our elected officials, urging them to protect clean school bus funding and stand up for kids' health. Clean air shouldn’t be negotiable! 🚍💨 #CleanRide4Kids…
Congress wants a $250 EV & $100 hybrid tax—even if you barely drive. It won’t fix the $30B road funding gap (EVs = 2%), but it will make Floridians pay 3X more than gas drivers and 6X more for seniors. This isn’t reform. It’s a punitive EV penalty. advocacy.consumerreports.org/research/punit…
Ahead of #AirQualityAwarenessWeek & #WorldAsthmaDay, EDF joined @USRepCastor inside an electric school bus to celebrate Florida’s clean bus progress. ✅ 467 electric buses Florida ✅ 213K FL kids have asthma ✅ $ saved, jobs made, bipartisan support Let's keep it rolling!



One month until hurricane season, with many Floridians still recovering from last year's back-to-back hits — Helene & Milton. The storms came fast, the flooding faster. It’s personal, it's now and it’s time to act. youtube.com/watch?v=5VsdOw… #HurricaneSeason #FloridaResilience
