The Environment

 Investing in our infrastructure means investing in our communities. We must build new infrastructure to transition to a more sustainable and eco-friendly world. Not only would it be better for the planet, but it would create countless jobs that provide a living-wage. We can bring people back to work by employing Marylanders to build these infrastructure projects and rebuild and restore equity in our middle class. 

The wildlife of our islands, waterways, and beaches must be protected from pipelines, deforestation for development, and pollution. Therefore, we will not support any offshore drilling projects and will actively fight to prevent offshore drilling from damaging our shores. We will not allow a Delvarma Pipeline to happen and will not enable manufactures to pollute our waterways.

Our current infrastructure is crumbling, and we need to invest in clean technologies, and sustainable manufacturing, buildings, roads, and bridges. This not only helps us meet energy demands, but it also creates lots of high paying jobs. 

 The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and is vital for our economy and way of life. We must protect our waters and the environment from further pollution and work to restore the bay to its natural wonder. Mia fully supports the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in its efforts to preserve and save the bay.

To restore Obama-era environmental protections that safeguard our air and water. This includes reinstating the methane pollution rule to limit existing oil and gas projects from releasing harmful pollutants. 

While the Climate Catastrophe does not discriminate, the effects are felt harder in communities of color. Systematically denied a healthy environment and the resources to ameliorate the damages, these communities bear the brunt of unsustainable industry. The transition to a sustainable environment must not leave affected communities behind to suffer.
