The picture above shows our Lower Eastern Shore Group Zero Waste Team leader, Cindy Dillon, presenting information about the pending "Bottle Bill" to Salisbury's Green Team, an advisory board to the Salisbury Council. We do this because we know that passage of this bill will improve our environment, better our health, and increase safety for our wildlife. You can be an Environment-Health-Wildlife advocate for the Bottle Bill with a few simple clicks here. Our ducks and deer, not to mention our children and grandchildren, are counting on you!
That's not all. Ask your legislators to support the Transportation and Climate Alignment Act! The TCA will require Maryland to serve the Lower Eastern Shore more fairly when it decides how to appropriate its budget.
Want more public transportation options and the ability to access them more easily? Then you want what we want. Go here to show support for the TCA. Do your part to bring more and better public transportation options to our beautiful but underserved area.
Finally, give a shout-out here for the Abundant Affordable Clean Energy Act, because who doesn't want abundant affordable clean energy? Good things happen when we do the work. A mere tap of your finger will work here.
Speaking of clean energy, take action before March 17 to urge the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to approve the air quality permit for construction for US Wind's Maryland Offshore Wind Project! Approval of this permit is an essential step in our state’s ongoing effort to procure clean, renewable power, reach its climate goals, and meet our energy needs. Send your message to MDE here.
Do we seem repetitive to you? Touting the same topics in every newsletter for the past few weeks? Unimaginative? We understand, but we have an April 7th deadline here."Unimaginable" is how we think of our future when we ignore Mother Nature's warnings and keep on doing what we've been doing, racing toward destruction. So please bear with us a bit. Share these action alerts with others, and let's make sure we turn these critical bills into reality.
Thanks for all you do for the environment.
