A fuel oil spill that had Curtis Bay residents gagging yesterday adds to community resentment about the source - a petroleum recovery company that experienced a fatal fire in 2022 and now wants to expand - too close to homes and a school, these South Baltimore residents say. tinyurl.com/2hp7awv4

Everyone deserves clean water, safe products, and healthy communities. That’s why advocates from the Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals are on Capitol Hill urging Congress to protect #TSCA, our nation’s main chemical safety law. @alsobrooks.senate.gov

Frederick County has purchased land to expand its #composting capacity & #compost food scraps - a great step forward for #ZeroWaste! Kip Kelley, deputy solid waste director, said the county is also reminding the public that "the gold standard for handling your food waste is to compost at home."
