ENVIRONMENT
The environmental team is on point for local, state and federal attempts to weaken protections. Actions include a lead role in trying to ban single-use plastic bags in Beaufort County. We also have a booth on the last Saturday of the month at the Port Royal Farmers Market, and a float for the Beaufort Water Festival. The team also takes action to oppose offshore oil drilling and seismic testing.
Work is underway on an Environmental Science Symposium for the fall with a segment on how climate change will affect our beloved Lowcountry.
