Ban the Bag - 2/23/16

aqua.org

Each year, over 2,300 pieces of legislation are introduced into the Maryland General Assembly. This year, one bill has the potential to make an impact on reducing the amount of pollution that enters our waterways.

Delegate Brooke Lierman, along with Senator Victor Ramirez, is cosponsoring the Community Cleanup and Greening Act, which aims to get Maryland consumers to switch from disposable to reusable bags. Delegate Lierman is here today to discuss what this bill means for you and how you can get involved.
 

As chief executive officer, John Racanelli leads a team of 600 full and part-time employees and 1,000 volunteers in pursuing the National Aquarium’s mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures. More than 1.5 million people annually visit the Aquarium’s venue in Baltimore, Maryland, while millions more are touched by the Aquarium’s education programs, outreach activities, social media campaigns and conservation initiatives.
