We’ve all heard the story: the polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, more hurricanes are on the way, and we’re fast on the road towards catastrophic climate change. So it’s a good thing that Maryland is starting to step up to the plate on enacting significant legislation to cut our carbon emissions.
The Global Warming Solutions Act, a call for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Maryland of 20% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, will come before the Maryland General Assembly this spring. According to The Baltimore Sun‘s Bay & Environment page, this is one of the hottest issues for this spring’s session of the Maryland General Assembly.
Now is the time to make sure Governor O’Malley strongly supports this piece of legislation. And the people showing their strong support is the first step! Keep your eyes open for events coming soon, especially in November, designated a Global Warming Solutions Month of Action.
