Howard County Recreation and Parks is no longer going to install artificial turf fields at East Columbia Library Park as originally planned! Let's hope this is going to be their policy moving forward to not convert grass fields to artificial turf!

Repairing instead of buying new reduces plastics since most items are made of plastic, come wrapped in plastic and/or are shipped in plastic. There's a repair cafe from 3-5 tomorrow (7/8) at Freetown Farm; bring items needing to be fixed. Hike at Robinson Nature Center afterwards

Every U.S. Congress member and state legislator needs to read this new report, from @minderoo, revealing plastic's alarming impact on people and the planet. We need strong new laws to reduce the production and use of single-use plastic. bit.ly/3JWBMEb

Today a landmark suit filed in New Orleans federal court by Cancer Alley residents demands a full moratorium on any new petrochemical & related infrastructure, citing a “scandalous environmental and public health emergency" and land use policies that are "vestiges of slavery."

.@WholeFoods may have a reputation for sustainable food, but the brand has lost focus in its commitment to reduce plastic packaging. It's time for the popular grocery chain to start walking the walk again. @thehill @saul_elbein @uspirg @EnvAm
