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.

On this Valentines Day, join us in giving no love to polluters.  Friends of the Earth is leading a call to demand that the Prince George’s County Council pass legislation to ban new fossil fuel power plants in the Prince George’s County. We already have a cluster of 4 power plants that are a major problem in Southern PG. We need prevent number 5!
