26、NSWER SHEET. Passage1Until last spring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on BUS 59. but as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs.

If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, its an environmental winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Repl
