The Maryland "Bottle Bill" will reduce litter and plastic pollution, increase recycling and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It speaks for itself when we measure the benefits against any detriments. That's because there are no detriments to us, as everyday consumers. Municipalities and counties have no burdens, either. All we need to do is return our beverage containers and get back the deposits we put down.
You will be happily astonished when you see the difference in our beautiful Lower Eastern Shore landscape as you drive the miles and miles of native natural places. Take action here, and please support the Bottle Bill.
Our second critical Action Alert supports passage of the badly needed Transportation and Climate Alignment Act, here.
When it comes to public transportation, we on the Lower Eastern Shore are underserved. As this Action Alertwill tell us, "The bill would encourage state investment in public transit, walking, and biking infrastructure to reduce tailpipe pollution and give Marylanders more safe and affordable options to get to work, school, healthcare, and other locations."
We don't have to be professionals in the fields of transportation or governance to know we need more options. Take action here, andplease support the TCA Act.
Our 3rd critical Action Alert supports passage of the Abundant Affordable Clean Energy Act, here.
As the Action Alert will tell us, "The AACE Act will help increase Maryland energy production in ways that keep rates affordable and benefit the environment and public health. Smart investments, like those in the AACE Act, can help Maryland meet our electricity needs and our renewable energy and climate goals at the same time."
More details can be found in the Action Alert itself. Take action here, and please support the AACE Act.
When we show strength in numbers, our voices are magnified. Sierra Club supports legislation that will improve our lives. Let's all be like the great zebras, support one another, and take action together!
