My personal experience is that these % reductions can be achieved or surpassed. We’ve seasonally cut direct emissions by ~98% & annual emissions by ~80% using 100% renewable electricity & switching to induction cooking & heat pumps for HVAC & domestic hot water from gas. #ClimateSolutionsNow 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🌊🔋
They've decided climate solutions aren't profitable enough so they're running with 'let's just destroy the planet before it destroys us'. #climatecrisis #climateaction #climatesolutionsnow
Last Thursday we testified on the need for the IAC to choose designs of new schools based on full life cycle costs as stated in MD law and not only on initial costs, and for life cycle analyses to include #ClimateSolutionsNow net-zero goals.
Happy #EarthDay its #ActionFriday x2
Sat 4/23 activists are gathering near the White House to rally for climate, care, jobs, and justice. In Maryland we showed we can act with #ClimateSolutionsNow. Now take the message to Washington. #FightForOurFuture
Thank You to the #ClimateHeroes of Prince George's County for fighting for our children's future and for #ClimateSolutionsNow! @PaulPinsky, @SenJimRosapepe, @RonForMaryland, @bensonteam24, Sen Griffith, @ObiePatterson, @MichaelFor27, @Sen_M_Augustine, @HouseDelegation

The vote on the PGPCS Climate Change Action Plan is coming and we need to show support. This Friday take a moment to sign and share the petition to support the adoption of the plan. #PGCClimateActionPlan #ClimateSolutionsNow
Thank you @SpeakerAJones, @KumarBarve, @DelDanaMStein1, CT Wilson, and all of the #ClimateHeroes in the House of Delegates that passed #ClimateSolutionsNow! Additional funds for net zero schools and an electric school bus pilot are steps forward toward 100% Clean Energy Schools!
#ActionFriday
House ENT and ECM is voting on #ClimateSolutionsNow TODAY!
Tell @KumarBarve & @DelDanaMStein1 that we need them to SUPPORT and STRENGTHEN SB528. Maryland needs #ClimateSolutions! ⤵️
#ClimateAction can’t wait! We need SB528.
The bill does so much including phasing out dirty diesel school buses and building more clean net-zero schools.
Tell the MD House to stay strong and pass #ClimateSolutionsNow!
A great message from @IPC_Chesapeake on the need for the @mdhousedems to pass strong #ClimateSolutionsNow.
#ActionFriday
#ClimateSolutionsNow passed the Senate with the Net-Zero School Grant Fund and Zero Emission School Buses intact, but it still must pass the House.
We're counting on you. Message your Delegates to say you want #ClimateAction!

Check out this video with the children of @UULMMD with their call for #ClimateSolutionsNow and the #EnvironmentalHumanRightsAmendement. And after you watch, call your #MDGA members to let them know you support action too.
THANK YOU to @SenRosapepe, @PaulPinsky, @RonForMaryland, @bensonteam24, Sen Griffith, @ObiePatterson, @MichaelFor27, @Sen_M_Augustine, and all of the other #ClimateChampions who voted to pass #ClimateSolutionsNow (SB528). We’re grateful for your work to take bold #ClimateAction!
Future generations can’t wait for us to act on the #ClimateCrisis. We need #ClimateHeroes like @SenRosapepe, @PaulPinsky, @RonForMaryland, @bensonteam24, @ObiePatterson, @MichaelFor27, and @Sen_M_Augustine to vote for #ClimateSolutionsNow tonight!
#ActionFriday
Urge your State Senator to pass a strong #ClimateSolutionsNow bill! We are down to the wire on our chance to act and in the #MDGA22. They need to hear your voice calling for Strong #ClimateAction!
At today's IAC meeting, Exec Dir Bob Gorrell said "When you are replacing the entire school, to do net zero, to do electricity, those things are easy, they are almost not cost." We can do this, we can have #ClimateSolutionsNow for schools.
Watching today’s #ClimateSolutionsNow hearing is nerve racking knowing our children’s future is in the balance. Please stay strong and pass SB528 without weakening amendments.
The charge is being led right now for strong a #ClimateSolutionsNow by @SenBillFerg, @PaulPinsky, @GuyGuzzone and the rest of the @MDSenate! The children need Climate Solutions, Prince George’s needs Climate Solutions, Maryland needs Climate Solutions.
Thank you @SenRosapepe, Senator Griffith, @MichaelFor27, and the rest of B&T! We have strong climate leaders in Prince George’s and need #ClimateSolutionsNow!
Thank you @PaulPinsky, @ObiePatterson, and the rest of EHEA! We have strong climate leaders in Prince George’s and need #ClimateSolutionsNow!
Prince George’s Sierra Club says #ClimateSolutionsNow at #MDGA22. We’ll brave the wind and rain to have our voices heard.
They say better late then never, but not when it comes to #ClimateSolutionsNow we are already late and then some. Let’s not leave this mess for our children to clean up. #MDGA22 please pass SB 528 without weak amendments!
Monday night (3/7) join @sierraclubmd in Annapolis to say we need #ClimateSolutionsNow!
Right now the #MDGA22 is hearing from gas companies saying to just study the issue more, wait to act. But the planet cannot wait.
They need to hear from YOU!

Our children can't wait for us to transition away from fossil fuels. Their world is already looking grim and every year we delay its an even worse future we leave them. We need heroes in the #MDGA2 to pass strong #ClimateSolutionsNow!
And let's not forget that natural gas explosions happen in schools too like in Minneapolis in 2017. We need to get the fossil fuels out of schools and pass #ClimateSolutionsNow! @senbillferg, @SpeakerAJones, @PaulPinsky, @KumarBarve, @DelDanaMStein1!

We have seen, in Maryland, the dangers of heating our buildings and schools with methane. We have solutions, we need to stop, we need #ClimateSolutionsNow and #ElectricBuildings. Let the #MDGA22 know.
We cannot keep wasting energy and increasing emissions to pinch pennies. Our schools, offices, homes, etc need #ClimateSolutionsNow. Our children’s planet depends on us showing leadership.
Well this is depressing. Why do the wealthy and power keep fighting tooth and nail to keep this happening? “Five takeaways from the UN’s 2022 climate impacts report” #ClimateCrisis #ClimateSolutionsNow
climatechangenews.com/2022/02/28/fiv…
From today’s @washingtonpost. Proof that we need strong #ClimateSolutionsNow tackling buildings, schools, buses, landfills, etc. Stay strong and keep listening to the science and not the naysayers @PaulPinsky, @KumarBarve, Delegate Stein. #IPCCReport
