“They are very well-organized, and they are a
well-thought-out group of individuals who are going to make sure their concerns
are heard”

For more than 25 years, the non-partisan Maryland League of Conservation Voters has served as the independent political voice for the environment. We advocate for sound conservation policies, promote environmentally responsible candidates, and hold individual elected officials accountable through our scorecards and reports.
On February 19, Governor O'Malley formally issued his "strong, strong, strong support of the Global Warming Solutions Act!" The Global Warming Solutions Act will create green collar jobs, help reduce long-term energy costs, and lead Maryland into Clean Energy Future. Specifically, the bill would require Maryland to reduce its global warming pollution 25% by 2020 and 90% by 2050 and as cost-effectively as possible, as recommended by the Maryland Commission on Climate Change. These targets, based on what scientists recommend is necessary to avoid the worst impacts of global warming, would be the strongest in the nation.
Thank you for the hard work you have done across the state this summer and fall contacting the Governor to urge his support of global warming solutions now. From signing a postcard to attending a rally - your voice made a difference!
