Good news! We're stopping trash before it starts with our new partnership with Northampton downtown restaurants! #plasticpollution #zerowaste Learn how: cleanwater.org/2025/12/16/l...

Michigan is standing up and speaking out against the data center onslaught across our state, against DTE secret deals, unwanted AI nonsense, corporations buying our politicians... And for our communities and a healthy sustainable future for us all. They have the money. We have our power. ♥️💧✊

The federal government's shortsighted attacks on clean energy cause disruptions for workers and local communities. But despite these attacks, this homegrown energy project is nearing completion. Enough with the unnecessary bureacratic delays.

Thank you Sen. Creem and Rep. Decker for passing restrictions on toxic flame retardants. New research shows flame retardants in people’s blood drops quickly when sofas with toxic flame retardants are removed from the home. @saferstates.bsky.social silentspring.org/news/toxic-f...

Babies should be born healthy. One more reason we need the MA Legislature to support bills to restrict toxic #PFAS. @juliancyr.bsky.social @jocomerford.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

“Replacing these service lines is the single most effective step we can take to reduce environmental lead exposure,” U.S. Rep. William Keating said in a letter urging the #EPA to release funding to New Bedford. #leadwaterpipes #environment

This is expected to be up for a vote TODAY. Take action if you haven't yet!

We applaud the recent ruling striking down the federal executive order blocking wind energy projects. #YesToWind

Offshore wind is creating jobs AND driving down energy costs. At a moment when families need relief, we can’t afford to take solutions off the table. This is good news. Grateful to @massago.bsky.social and the team for their work.

HUGE NEWS. Wind power is affordable, clean, and employs New England workers.

Heat pumps are better for the planet — and for people’s health, comfort, and energy bills. But with federal incentives ending, access to clean, affordable heating is at risk. CLF Senior Attorney Richard Stang shares why strong state action matters: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

Phthalates are everywhere and they are harming our kids. What can you do? Ask your legislators to pass the Toxic Free Kids bill to get toxic phthalates out of children’s products! ***Link to take action in thread!*** www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Winter Currents is out. From the “Permission to Pollute Act” to EPA coal wastewater delays and new threats to streams + wetlands, clean water is on the line. Read the newsletter: cleanwater.org/publications...

Tis the season to protect kids from toxic chemicals! Sign a letter to the MA legislature urging passage of An Act relative to toxic free kids. Find it here: cleanwater.org/ma-toxic-fre... Thank you @jocomerford.bsky.social and Rep. Jim Hawkins for leading the charge! @mbccorg.bsky.social

The state-level momentum to protect people from toxic #PFAS continues... Massachusetts - let's be next!

Polluters think that if they control the rules, they control the outcome, and they’re counting on us to be silent. Not in the past. Not now. Not in the future. Help us reach 1,000 people defending clean water today. cleanwater.org/giving-tuesday-2025 #ProtectCleanWater

“By end of 2026, all chemical products manufactured by Ecolab with intentionally added PFAS will be removed from our global portfolio,” the company said in a statement. chemsec.org/worlds-bigge...

MA families shouldn’t have to wait for clean, safe air! Dec 3rd is the deadline for Senate action on outdoor air quality, and your voice matters. Take 2 minutes to ask your legislators to cosponsor the air quality bills that protect overburdened EJ communities. actionnetwork.org/letters/102b...

What do plates,💩, and pickleballs all have in common? They’re all things we found in the trash at our downtown JP waste audit! It was gross. It was hilarious. And we did it for the data! Read more: cleanwater.org/2025/11/24/g...

❄ #AttleboroMA and #TauntonMA residents, are you worried about your utility bills this winter? Here are some tips on how you can maintain a cozy home while saving energy and money. The Mass Save Programs are offering up to 100% off on insulation and weatherization right now!💡

As people break down cardboard shipping boxes, rinse out plastic yogurt tubs and collect aluminum cans, it’s common to wonder: Is this really helping? On the South Coast of Massachusetts, #recycling works, The Light finds in answer to ar reader's question. And it’s vital.

Our new research shows many of The Home Depot’s top suppliers are still using PVC in their packaging. Seriously?! #PVC doesn’t make our homes better; it threatens our health, safety, and the environment. 🌎 The Home Depot can and must do more to phase it out of all packaging on store shelves.

Disposing of leftover food products wastes money and pollutes our environment. Zero Waste Massachusetts, a coalition of MASSPIRG, Community Action Works, @theclf.bsky.social, and Clean Water, has been calling for food diversion for years. cleanwater.org/releases/mas...

Check out our collaboration with JP ZeroWaste! Step 1: Count trash. Step 2: Implement programs like ReThink Disposable to help businesses phase out single-use disposable items. Step 3: Re-count the trash this summer! Follow our progress! #ZeroWaste jamaicaplainnews.com/2025/11/17/j...

GOOD NEWS UPDATE: Our #ZeroWaste partnership with Newton schools continues! We helped sort waste at the THRIVE 2025 conference of teachers along with Newton student volunteers and local leaders. This partnership began when a student wanted to fight cafeteria food waste. The kids are alright!

Big win for grassroots power today!

NEW: House punts on sweeping energy bill that would dial back state climate commitments commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/house...

The terrible climate rollbacks bill is on hold, thanks to the voices of grassroots organizations and people across Massachusetts. Read more about what was proposed, and why a broad coalition rallied to stop it: cleanwater.org/2025/11/17/h...

We packed the State House yesterday. Now we need YOU to raise your voice. A costly climate rollback bill that would gut landmark Massachusetts clean energy and climate policies has been proposed in the House. Tell your state representative to vote NO. Take action: act.cleanwater.org/page/181753/...

After an outcry from clean water advocates, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority’s board has tabled an upcoming vote on a proposal to allow the continued release of sewage overflows into the Charles River.

A terrible bill that guts MA clean energy and climate policies is on the move. 68 orgs sent a letter urging committee members to halt the Climate-Rollback Bill. Clean Water Action and @sierraclubma.bsky.social endorsed climate champions Rep Higgins and Rep Scarsdale took a stand! Thank you! Onwards!

We've been awarded a @massdep.bsky.social Reduce, Reuse, Repair Microgrant! We're working with @boston.gov, JP Zero Waste, @beyondplastics.bsky.social Greater Boston, and Recirclable to help restaurants on the Center/South JP Main Street incorporate zero waste practices! Step 1: waste audit! (Ew!)

Heat pumps don’t burn fossil fuels, but instead pull warmth from the air or ground. Even in freezing climates they stay more efficient than gas or oil systems, and some of the world’s coldest countries have the most heat pumps per household. 🔥⚡️ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/c...

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON! 🧟 But what's really scary is that kids are still exposed to known toxic substances in products designed for them. We can change that! Tell your MA state legislators to support the Toxic Free Kids Act! Send a message now: cleanwater.org/ma-toxic-fre...

“You have all of these manufacturing facilities that were planned but aren’t happening, so all of those jobs no longer exist.” Trump's anti-environment policies kill jobs. But this story isn't over yet. Our New England communities will build the clean energy future. e360.yale.edu/features/eas...
