Climate Parents of Prince George’s County
Category: Testimony/Comment Letters
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.
