Save $$$$ -- Use Renewable Energy for Your Electric Power
Why not obtain your electric energy from a 100% renewable source? - either from a provider who uses renewable sources or from a community solar group "coop"? In the later case, we ask you to check with Neighborhood Sun

Contact your legislators.
Legislators consistently indicate they want to hear from their consituents. Because of their time constraints, they will tend to ignore correspondence or calls from people not in their district. Use the tools on the right sidebar to learn your representatives' contact information.
Email them, in your words. Custom emails have a higher value than canned emails.
Call them. You won't need a lengthy conversation; typically a staff member will take your contact info and a summary of your call.
Meet them. With a small group of fellow constituents, arrange to meet the Maryland's reps in person -if you can, before the legislative session opens or early during the session.
The League of Conservation Voters has a Conservation Voter Report which gives you your legislators' green report. Complete the form at LCV Green Report
