Today is Cross Over Day!
These are the bills we are following the status of closely during session. While some have officially crossed over, there is still plenty of work to be done to ensure others make it to the end of session.

Wow! Great work! This is an incredible haul of beverage container litter! It shows how impactful a bottle bill could be in reducing litter. There would be far fewer plastic bottles and cans trashed if people could return them to the store for a refund! #MDBottleBill #MDGA26
Beverage container recycling refunds are a proven policy tool for improving recycling collection and reducing litter at the source.

THANK YOU to more than 70 volunteers and our brewery partners in the South Baltimore Brewery District Litter Cleanup!🚯🍻
For now, we picked up:
1,849 beverage containers
953 pieces of food packaging
For the future, we support policies like a #MDbottlebill that prevent litter in the first place!
The edge of a retention pond where mostly bottles, not silt, form the layered deposits of the pond bed. Adjacent to Baltimore's Gwynn's Falls, this captures just some of the trash that flows into our stream. Night herons nest here. We desperately need a #mdbottlebill @bluewaterbaltimore.bsky.social
