Calvert St., Annapolis 21401 on Mon., Oct 7 from 7 to 9 PM, organized by the
Sierra Club Maryland Chapter. Contact Matt Dernoga at matt.dernoga@mdsierra.org. The Anne

in favor of the resolution. After you RSVP, guidance will be provided.
Anne Arundel County has
two coal fired power plants: H.A. Wagner and Brandon Shores which are
co-located in northern Anne Arundel County near the Baltimore City line. These
coal plants are contributing to public health problems, climate change, and
environmental degradation. The plants are major polluters of Sulfur Dioxide and
Nitrogen Oxide, both of which damage the respiratory system. The American Lung
Association recently gave Anne Arundel County an F grade for its air quality.
Throughout Maryland, it's not much better: 88% of Marylanders live in counties
unable to meet the EPA's clean air smog standards.
