Enjoyed visiting Trenton Elementary to deliver boxes of school supplies collected by our N.C. DEQ team as part of the Governor’s School Supply Drive! It was great to meet the students, read a book together, and hear their ideas on how they can protect the environment! 🍎 🌎

Thrilled to join many of my state colleagues in Rhode Island with ECOS this week. I am looking forward to many productive conversations and opportunities for collaboration— and exploring the unique natural environment with our hosts Rhode Island Dept of Environmental Management! #ECOSFall24

I am grateful for the partnership of Deputy Administrator Janet McCabe as ECOS and U.S. EPA work together to protect public health and the environment. Enjoyed our discussion— and the chance to exchange tokens of appreciation— today at #ECOSFall24.

Today, my term as President of ECOS came to a close after a very full year. I am so proud of what we have accomplished together, and I am grateful for the trust and engagement of my colleagues across the country.

ECOS President Secretary Elizabeth Biser of N.C. DEQ & ECOS Executive Director Ben Grumbles join the Environmental Law Institute podcast to discuss how states are leading the way in environmental protection. Listen here: eli.org/podcasts

I was glad to visit NC’s SWANA chapter today to share how N.C. DEQ is addressing PFAS and what to look for with the upcoming release of our 2024-2034 Solid Waste and Materials Management Plan. These actions show that a healthy economy and a healthy environment go hand in hand.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your N.C. DEQ Secretary. I’m so proud of the work this team has done and will continue to do to protect public health and the environment for all North Carolinians. newsobserver.com/news/politics-…
