Thank you Delegate Charkoudian!!!! We had an amazing time presenting to our delegates, senators, and governor's office staff yesterday in Annapolis. We and MD students & teachers are hoping for - or more like demanding :) - funds for SB-124 this year!!!
The incredible student #compost activists are back - with thousands of postcards from students across MD filling the compost bin. They presented them to MDE Secretary McIlwain as they advocate for funding for the school compost grant program that my 2022 legislation created.

Today we started a Composting and Food Recovery Program at Daly Elementary. The student were very engaged and learned quickly. We need to find a way to fund more composting programs at schools! @compostologymd @MDEnvironment @MyGreenMC @EDGreenRibbon

@compostologymd made their way to Annapolis with a Compost Crew bin filled with 10,000 hand written postcards by students from 77 schools in MD. They are pushing for funding to support composting at their schools! Let’s keep the mission going 🌎 #compost #schools #maryland
It was a huge pleasure and memorable opportunity to meet with @Smith4Delegate @VAtterbeary & @peopleforpam on Monday. Thank you for speaking with us!

#SB124 grants funding to schools to strengthen composting initiatives. @shellyhettleman will take this to the House Ways and Means Committee next Thursday! Shoutout to @LCharkoudian #HB150 and all the youth advocates that made this bill move! #MDGA22 #ZeroWasteTaskforce

Even more waste in school cafeterias - well over half - can be #composted! Last year, #mdga22 created a grant program to help schools compost, but it doesn't have any funding - let's put $$$ in it in #mdga23! #ZeroWaste #compost #composting xitter.cf/compostologymd/status/…
Writing to Governor Moore for $$$ for SB124 is the best way to spend lunchtime :)
