🎃Our friends at Mass Power Forward are taking on the vampire utilities and fossil fuel billionaires sucking the life out of our future!👻 Join us Monday, 10/28, 11:30–2 on the MA State House steps for a rally and trick-or-treat visits to legislators! RSVP: bit.ly/MPFhalloween Please share!

TFF’s science director breaks down the science behind Washington's recent first-in-nation ban on all formaldehyde-releasing chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products—and why it's good news for salon workers, women of color, and anyone who uses everyday products like shampoo or lotion. 💚

Amid a continued clampdown on the #offshorewind industry by the Trump administration, Vineyard Wind has quietly progressed with project buildout and reached 50% power production. That means about half of the project’s 62 turbines are sending power to the Massachusetts grid.

We're midway through this legislative session. So how are our environmental priorities doing? Find out NEXT WEEK at our special member update. From banning toxic #PFAS to fighting air pollution, learn how YOU can get involved! **RSVP for Zoom link at cleanwater.org/ma-state-house-update

Clean Water's Energy Efficiency Outreach Specialist, Shay and Kevin with Complete Energy Services bumped into a promotional sign as they were canvassing to spread the word about energy efficiency solutions. If you’re a small business in Attleboro, now is the perfect time to get an Energy Assessment!

Trump is purposely driving up your electric bills to cater to his big crypto, AI, and fossil fuel donors — money from your pockets to theirs. He’s also driving up your homeowners insurance, hurting property values.

“If any of these chemicals get into a woman while she’s pregnant, the chemicals will go right across into the baby. The placenta provides no protection at all.” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

"We like to be in the vanguard of public health, of environmental health and safety. We are no longer in the vanguard. I think there are 13 or 14 other states that have passed...legislation related to PFAS. We’re losing ground a bit."- @juliancyr.bsky.social www.statehousenews.com/news/environ...

How can you tell which products contain toxic #PFAS? You can't. We hosted a PFAS Show and Tell at the State House today to show why we need to pass @juliancyr.bsky.social and Rep. Hogan's bill to #banPFAS from many products. @sierraclubma.bsky.social @defendourhealth.bsky.social

Toxic #PFAS are hiding in many products. Can you tell which? Join us tomorrow at 10am in Room 428 of the State House for a PFAS Show and Tell, and learn why we need to pass legislation sponsored by Rep. Kate Hogan and @juliancyr.bsky.social to protect consumers from these chemicals.

Our Energy Efficiency Outreach Specialist, Shay, was slinging pizza slices and info last week in Attleboro! Thanks to the Attleboro Senior Center for hosting, and congrats to the folks who officially signed up to make their homes and apartments more energy efficient with Mass Save!

Trump's EPA is going to let coal plants dump poison in water. How is this Making Americans Healthy Again? cleanwater.org/2025/10/06/e...

“We’re all going to suffer because these turf fields — particularly the old ones, which we know have #PFAS — are going to leach off and contaminate farmers’ fields, groundwater, drinking water supplies, and surface waters,” said Kyla Bennett of @peer.org. www.inquirer.com/news/turf-ar...

This is a crucial moment. Our legislators just held a pile of hearings on environmental bills we care about. So, now what? Join us for a fun, casual virtual member meeting! We’ll break down what happened so far, where we go from here, and how YOU can help! RSVP at: act.cleanwater.org/page/178381/...

Communities are STILL living in the shadow of the Saugus trash incinerator - the oldest in the nation - so we cohosted a tour with local advocates, Undersecretary Maria Belen Power and local officials from Lynn, Revere and Saugus. @masseea.bsky.social @theclf.bsky.social @slingshotaction.bsky.social

Thanks for standing with climate advocates @markey.senate.gov!

Everyday plastics contain phthalates—linked to infertility, ADHD, premature birth, and more. WA and major retailers have banned them in some products, but that’s just the start. To protect our health, we must ban endocrine-disrupting additives in plastics everywhere.

Today, 9/15, is the LAST DAY to make your voice heard! Trump’s EPA is trying to push back compliance deadlines for coal plants to clean up their toxic coal ash. Don't let coal plants dodge responsibility—submit a comment to the EPA today. act.cleanwater.org/page/177494/...

Clean Water Action joined allies at the State House to advocate for our priority outdoor air quality legislation. Great turnout! Tell the public health committee to support the Outdoor Air Quality bill! Take action: act.cleanwater.org/page/177432/... @enviroleaguema.bsky.social @theclf.bsky.social

RIGHT NOW: ⚡️ A huge coalition of public health, consumer, municipal, environmental and community orgs along with academics, scientists and firefighters are at the State House urging lawmakers to protect our drinking water and health from toxic #PFAS. cleanwater.org/releases/bro...

URGENT ALERT! 📢 Tell EPA: Do not delay toxic coal plant compliance deadlines! We have 7 DAYS until this EPA comment period closes. Please visit the link below to make your voice heard today: act.cleanwater.org/page/177494/...

More water contaminated with forever chemicals and less protections for firefighters and military service members - why would anyone support this? #banPFAS www.thenewlede.org/2025/08/cong...

So, in summary.... the Trump admin is SPENDING money to keep dirty coal plants open while killing New England jobs by halting construction of affordable clean energy projects. Make it make sense??

New England workers deserve better. Our states are working together to build a local clean energy economy rather than remain dependent on dirty fossil fuels from other states. Meanwhile, this admin is doing everything they can to cancel local jobs.

This seems like a great moment to remind everyone that there are bills to improve MA air quality pending in the legislature... #mapoli cleanwater.org/actions/ma-c...

💧 These bills give corporate polluters more power to contaminate the rivers, lakes, and streams we rely on for drinking, fishing, and swimming. It’s a direct threat to our health, water, & way of life. #ProtectCleanWater #StopTheDirtyWaterBill #VoteNoOnHR3898 act.cleanwater.org/page/173938/...
