#WilliamstownMA becomes the first municipality in the state to ban land application of #biosolids from #SewageTreatment plants -- due to the presence of #PFAS & other #ToxicSubstances. @massdep.bsky.social @jocomerford.bsky.social @juliancyr.bsky.social #MAPoli 📰 www.iberkshires.com/story/82699/...

VICTORY! Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm has completed construction and Revolution Wind is now sending power to the electric grid. Two stop work orders, issued by the Trump Admin in 2025, were overturned, allowing local workers to finish the [email protected] 📰 www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Great recent "Healthy Soils in Action" conference by NOFA Mass. Topics included nutrient density, #Agroecology, #Biodiversity, #UrbanAgriculture, #Pollinators, pasture raised animal products, plus a cool seed exchange. #SustainableAgriculture in #Massachusetts! 🌾

The #DefenseProductionAct was last invoked for COVID ventilators & PPE. Now #herbicide glyphosate has uniquely been declared "crucial to #NationalSecurity & defense". Instead of protecting public health, the U.S. Government is moving to pesticide protection. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

In MA, we must ask local leaders: how are we prepared for the impacts of #datacenters? What are the zoning allowances or restrictions? Does it account for water, air, energy, and noise? Are there residential buffer zones? Will this raise my utility bills? 📢 TAKE ACTION: bit.ly/MA_datacenters

No one should have to worry about harmful chemicals in the water they drink or the food they eat. This year, at least 33 states are stepping up to restrict #PFAS and other toxic chemicals. Time for MA to act!

BREAKING: Trump plans to eliminate the EPA’s Endangerment Finding—one of the strongest legal tools we have to fight climate pollution. Both in D.C. and the MA Statehouse, dangerous proposals ignore science and will lead to tangible public health consequences.    📰 www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

@vickmohanka.bsky.social: Delivery charges make up ⅔ of the average gas bill, thanks to BILLIONS in gas utility pipeline spending. To solve MA's energy affordability crisis, we must invest in efficient equipment & clean energy, not double down on gas. #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/effi...

Wondering how Fair Share funding is being spent? Here's your 2025 Paid for by Fair Share Wrapped.

GSEP=one of the biggest cost pressures on MA gas bills. Utility spending has TRIPLED since 2014, reaching $901M on new pipes this year. Each dollar directly raises your delivery charges. Time for legislators to address what’s really making energy unaffordable #mapoli www.wcvb.com/article/as-g...

A new energy saver program in #Boston is working to upgrade homes with affordable #heatpumps and energy efficiency measures that lower bills. “This program is very much designed to meet the moment we’re in,” says Boston’s green new deal director. Read more: commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/bosto...

Vick Mohanka of @sierraclubma.bsky.social talks about how Fair Share revenue helped zero out the MBTA’s deficit. #mapoli

BREAKING: The price of Eversource MA's controversial proposed methane gas pipeline just went UP! MA residents can't afford the health, climate and economic costs of this-$85 MILLION-pipeline. It's time for MA leaders to put #peopleoverprofits #mapoli www.masslive.com/westernmass/...

#Massachusetts is making progress on energy affordability. W/@Mass_DPU 1.0 heat pump rates approved for Eversource MA, National Grid MA & Unitil, many households will see real savings as early as Nov 1. The 2.0 rates can save families even more. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/01/b...

Eversource gas bills jumped 30% — yet their CEO made nearly $19 million & they’re pouring billions into new pipelines. “They’re passing the cost onto us, the customers.” Let’s be real: this isn’t affordability, it’s exploitation. #mapoli newbedfordlight.org/why-are-elec...
