Local parents, activists, experts to discuss health impacts of fossil fuels at "Moms and Docs Roundtable"

BALTIMORE – Days after a major summit on climate and health at the White House, Baltimore will be having a discussion of its own. This Thursday, June 25th, Moms Clean Air Force, Environment Maryland, Sierra Club and Physician’s for Social Responsibility will host a roundtable discussion on the health impacts of the fossil fuel industry.

This event will bring concerned parents and community members together with doctors and other health experts to discuss the twin impacts air pollution and climate change has on Marylanders’ health. Maryland has taken major steps in recent years to limit carbon pollution and advance renewable energy, but new air pollution rules have stalled under the Hogan administration and the US Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to limit carbon pollution from power plants is facing opposition from Congress.

WHAT: A roundtable discussion on climate change and the public health benefits of the Clean Power Plan.

WHO: UMD-Baltimore's Dr. Sara Via

Laurel Peltier, Mom and Baltimore Fishbowl Eco- writer and green blogger

WHEN: 6:00 PM EDT
