Nonprofit PennEnvironment Reports Widespread Microplastic Contamination in Chesapeake Bay Watershed

Nonprofit PennEnvironment Reports Widespread Microplastic Contamination in Chesapeake Bay Watershed

A new study released by the nonprofit PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center has revealed pervasive microplastic contamination throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The report indicates that microplastics were present in every water sample collected from lakes, rivers, and bayfront locations within the watershed, including dozens of waterways across multiple states, with Pennsylvania being one of them. The Susquehanna River, which is the largest tributary to the Chesapeake Bay, contributes 50% of the fresh water flowing into the Bay. Faran Savitz, a zero waste advocate at PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center, emphasized the alarming nature of these findings for Pennsylvanians concerned about the Bay and the Susquehanna River. Stephanie Wein, Clean Water Advocate for PennEnvironment, highlighted that while microplastics may not be visible to the naked eye, they pose significant threats to the environment and public health, urging policymakers to address plastic pollution.

Pennsylvania State Police Report Near-Total Compliance in Skill Game Removal Following Court Order

Pennsylvania State Police Report Near-Total Compliance in Skill Game Removal Following Court Order

The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) have reported that over 99% of businesses and social clubs have complied with an order to remove skill game machines. This follows a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in June that classified these devices as illegal slot machines, requiring them to be regulated like other gaming terminals and only permitted in locations licensed by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The PSP began enforcing the court order after an October 14 deadline. Out of 12,202 establishments visited, only 68 were found to still have the devices. The agency has seized 14 machines and $1,913 from non-compliant locations, with ongoing investigations. The Attorney General’s Office had previously estimated there were as many as 70,000 skill game machines across the state, many of which provided significant income to various small businesses. The Supreme Court had paused its ruling for 140 days to allow lawmakers to craft legislation, but no consensus was reached.

East Goshen Township Launches Curbside Composting Pilot Program to Reduce Food Waste

East Goshen Township Launches Curbside Composting Pilot Program to Reduce Food Waste

East Goshen Township in Pennsylvania initiated a five-month curbside composting pilot program in August to offer residents an accessible and affordable method for food waste disposal. The program, developed by the Township's Environmental and Sustainability Advisory Council (ESAC), provides participating households with a five-gallon bucket for food scrap collection every other week, handled by a local compost hauler, Back to Earth Compost Crew. The Township covers half the monthly cost, with participating households paying $10. This initiative followed a community interest survey, which indicated a willingness among residents to pay $10 per month for the service, though interest significantly decreased at $20. An educational class was also provided, leading some residents to adopt home composting while others joined the pilot. Currently, 41 households are participating, and feedback has been positive, with residents reporting ease of use, lack of odor, and a reduction in household trash. The hauler estima...
