Even this guy knows to Scoop the Poop every stinkin’ time! 😂💩 Almost 25% of bacteria in urban and suburban waterways—including the Bay and rivers—comes come from dog waste. 🤢 Pick up after your pup every time to help keep our water cleaner and healthier for everyone!

"That filth and dirt will be coming down with the river water." tinyurl.com/543bu4pu says a retired DPW operations engineer, describing the challenge posed by a years-long dredging backlog and a grime-filled pipeline as Susquehanna River flow is added to Baltimore tap water.

A @JHUBloombergCtr epidemiologist was in the @MDEnvironment parking lot, all ready. MDE had agreed to facilitate independent testing of ash from the BRESCO incinerator. But the day it was to happen, an upper-level MDE official abruptly canceled the plan. tinyurl.com/y63h24aj
"We regret to inform you that the ash sampling plan needs to be postponed at this time," MDE's solid waste program administrator says in a 9/29/25 email to community members and researchers who were poised to carry out a split sampling plan on BRESCO ash.

As the leaves start filling your lawn, remember that you don't have to send them away. If you can't leave them lay where they fall, could you consider moving them to a corner of your yard to break down naturally while providing habitat for our smallest neighbors?

As Baltimore County approves 10 more years of burning its trash in Baltimore City, a question: will @MayorBMScott keep his promise that the city's BRESCO contract (expiring in 2031) will be its last? tinyurl.com/2vt3eb25 Advocates say it's looking very iffy.
Brandon Scott's promise in 2020 after supporting giving the BRESCO incinerator another 10-year contract to burn Baltimore's trash: “Under my administration,” he told The Brew, “we’re going to work to not burn as much at the incinerator as possible. And I will work my butt off to make sure that this is the last time we ever give them a new contract.”
