WITH the long, hot summer showing little sign of ending anytime soon, there can be little doubt that the climate emergency is here. But when the temperatures drop and the rain falls (hello, August bank holiday), a reminder will be on the streets of Reading and Wokingham boroughs.

Reading Buses has teamed up with the University of Reading to transform one of its biomethane-powered single deck bus into a climate stripes bus.

Professor Ed Hawkins, a world-leading climate scientist from the university, created ‘warming stripes’.

They are a means of visually communicating rising temperatures and the threat of global warming for all of our futures. They have been displayed nationally and internationally.

And now they will be on one of Reading Buses vehicles.

The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Williams, said would ‘help to highlight the environmental benefits of travelling by bus, as well as raising awareness of the climate crisis.

“We are delighted to partner with the University of Reading to help highlight climate change,” he said.

“By covering a bus powered by biomethane gas with the climate stripes we are able to offer an extremely low carbon reminder of the climate emergency.

“This is also a reminder to people that using public transport is one of the easiest ways that they can help to cut emissions.”

He added: “We have even worked with our suppliers to source a new recyclable vinyl to keep the carbon impact of this project as low as possible for as long as possible.”
