Earth Week Hero - David Tykulsker
"Fighting to leave this world a better place by making the best of what we got," is a driving force behind Clean Water Action's Earth Week Hero, David Tykulsker.
David has been at the heart of our organization since he joined the New Jersey Board in the 1980s. In 2005, he became the National Board of Clean Water Action, a position he still holds today.
David believes that "our kids should not live in the same mess we are in" and that's why he has spent his life working to protect them. For his years of dedication, we recently honored David with a Grassroots Environmental Achievement Award at
Fight for climate justice in DC and fair development in Baltimore.
For over a century, Baltimore has been a hub for dirty energy sources and other industry that has put our environment and our communities in danger.

67 Marylanders speak out for offshore wind
As protectors of the environment, we seem to spend most of our time fighting against dangerous proposals. From trash-burning incinerators to crude oil train terminals, the resources at Baltimore's port seem to attract some of the worst examples of failed development. But last night was an incredible opportunity to stand up for the kind of investment in infrastructure we do want to see in Baltimore: infrastructure that cleans our air, fights climate change, and brings good, stable industry and high-paying jobs back to Sparrow's Point. Last night the Public Service Commission held its second
