We can’t afford to wait any longer for climate action
Everyone has the right to breathable air, clean water, and healthy communities. All of this is linked to combating the climate crisis here in Maryland.
Every year that we wait to take action against climate change, it’s less time we have to reverse its terrible effects and more missed opportunities for Maryland to be the national leader on climate action. We are experiencing a climate crisis — and greenhouse gas emissions are causing this crisis. Maryland is especially vulnerable to climate change. Floods and extreme weather events, such as heat waves and heavy storms are happening at an ever-increasing pace.
That’s why we’ve launched the #WhyNow campaign.
