The testimony we gave in favor of HB 630, Primary and Secondary Education – School District Energy Use – Policy and Study, was well received and the message was noted by in Maryland Matters. ‘“What does not get measured does not get managed,” Joseph Jakuta of the group Climate Parents Prince George’s told committee members.’ Please contact your Delegate to say you support HB 630.

We are glad to be invited by Delegate Jared Solomon (HD-18) to testify today to the House of Delegates Appropriations Committee in favor of HB 630. This bill would require Maryland school districts to begin collecting energy use data (if they aren’t already) and develop an energy plan of the district. This effort dovetails nicely with what we are calling for in Prince George’s County and will be an improvement to schools throughout Maryland.

The Maryland General Assembly has started their 2021 and many bills that are being brought up will have an impact on the climate future of our children and future generations. So we have been writing testimony on some of the more important ones as part of the Maryland Climate Justice Wing. Here is the second tranche of the testimony that we have submitted so far in the legislative session.
