👏👏 "Best of all, these programs are funded by the companies that put packaging and beverage containers into the marketplace. If made law, these two programs could save the state and our cities and towns nearly $15.6 million in recycling costs." www.warwickonline.com/opinion/gues...

A new Netflix documentary, #ThePlasticDetox, investigates how everyday exposure to chemicals in plastic is affecting human health. Toxic chemicals in plastics end up in our air, water, food, and products. The good news: states are stepping up and putting health first. 🧵

This is how we fight the trash crisis! Last week marked the launch of sorting stations at Ferri Middle School in Johnston. We've been partnering with the RI School Recycling Project and RIDE to phase out single-use disposable food ware. Now, students are keeping even more waste out of the landfill!

This Women’s History Month we’re spotlighting Lynn Thorp, the first woman to lead Clean Water Action in its 50+ year history. https://cleanwater.org/2026/03/11/clean-water-action-then-and-now-journey-drinking-water-coordinator-president

Sharing this call to action from the People's Port Authority. This facility has had multiple fires over the past several years sending thick black smoke across South Providence and Washington Park. Residents should not have to live with repeated emergency incidents. No sacrifice zones!

Let's goooooooooo! Our small but mighty state is a leader in defending our water from toxic PFAS. Next up? Plastics.

1 year into the Trump admin, the “affordability crisis” is worse. Despite #SOTU claims, policies led to a 13% rise in utility costs, loss of 172,000+ clean energy jobs, and weakened water protections. #RealityCheck www.ap.org/news-highlig...

“That was not just legislation, that was a promise — our promise to our children, our coastline, ... our economy, and the community’s most vulnerable to the consequences of a warming planet. We must keep that promise." Rep. Lauren Carson Read the article: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/16/m...

“Delaying the Renewable Energy Standard abandons the linchpin to achieving the state’s emission reduction mandates and renders the Act on Climate and the recent 2025 climate strategy obsolete,” @acadiacenter.bsky.social's Emily Koo said. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/16/m...

No family should be afraid to attend their child’s sporting event. Our hearts are with all those affected at yesterday’s hockey game in Pawtucket. #sticksout

We joined clean energy leaders speaking out against anti-climate proposals in Gov. McKee's FY27 budget. Local renewable energy projects and energy efficiency efforts are how we free RI from a volatile out-of-state fossil fuel market and build an affordable energy future that works for our state.

Yesterday, clean energy advocates gathered for a press event to speak to the concerns and consequences that would follow if Governor McKee’s FY27 budget was passed as it stands today. Renewables are not to blame for our states high utility bills. Clean energy is affordable energy.

Happening now: attending a press conference addressing the rollbacks to renewables and energy efficiency in Governor McKee’s FY 2027 Budget Proposal.

Environmental groups and labor respond to Governor McKee’s push against renewable energy and energy efficiency "I believe [Dan McKee]’s going to roll back on a lot of these things because, honestly, I think he got some bad advice because the numbers don’t work," said IBEW Local 99’s Joe Walsh.

Yesterday, I attended the Clean Energy is Affordable Energy press conference along with leaders in the labor, environment, and local energy developer communities to speak against the governor’s proposed cuts to energy efficiency & clean energy.

3pm. State House library. "Gov. McKee has criticized the president for being hostile to offshore wind and putting the nation off track to meet climate goals. Yet this budget runs the same destructive play, dismantling the very policies that make clean energy affordable and viable."

Starting soon! The path to affordability is clean, local energy plus energy efficiency, NOT leaving Rhode Islanders stuck on imported fossil fuels. Let's invest in Rhode Island! actionnetwork.org/events/clean...

Consumer products shouldn't poison us. Or contaminate the environment forever... #banPFAS apnews.com/projects/pfa...

Governor McKee's initiative to lower ratepayer energy costs seems more like political theater than effective policy But that doesn't make the effort less contentious, as environmentalists and business exceutives stake out opposite sides of the issue... steveahlquist.substack.com/p/governor-m...

Tomorrow! Local renewable energy is the path forward. cleanwater.org/events/press...

Our recent study on lobbying and testimony against climate action in RI. My observation is that having leveled the bureaucracy and commitments of the USA at the federal level, the howitzer of anti-climate pressure is being leveled at the states. Even the blue ones. ecori.org/lobbyists-op...

ALERT: Gov. McKee’s Budget proposal for FY27 wants to roll back the renewable energy standard 17 years! Join us next week where we will highlight how these changes undermine the foundation needed to build a secure, stable, and AFFORDABLE clean energy future for RI. actionnetwork.org/events/clean...
