“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...

It’s #SourceWaterProtectionWeek! Protecting our drinking water sources reduces health risks and controls treatment costs. It's a win-win for public health and savings. Let's prioritize source water protection! #ProtectTheSource #PuttingDrinkingWaterFirst

WIND. IS. THE. FUTURE. The Trump admin's short-sighted attacks on wind directly harm MA workers. (And only help out-of-state fossil fuel companies.) Get out of our way, Trump. Salem workers and neighbors are building the future. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/23/o...

Join us TOMORROW! RSVP here: cleanwater.org/chemrecyclingwebinar #ZeroWaste #ChemicalRecycling #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateAction

For decades, coal plants dumped toxic coal ash into unlined landfills, threatening drinking water. Now, Trump’s EPA wants to delay compliance deadlines, stalling the cleanup of some sites until after 2030. Take action - comments are due TODAY! act.cleanwater.org/page/177494/...
