GreenRoots’ Dir. of Climate Justice & Waterfront Initiatives, John Walkey, has been named to MA Comm. on Energy Infrastructure Siting & Permitting. #NoEastieSubstation demonstrates how poor siting decisions and no community engagement impacts EJ neighborhoods for decades.

Super cool!
Boston's getting 50 new electric school buses thanks to $20 million from the @EPA. Worcester, Fall River and New Bedford have new buses coming, too. They're "bright yellow symbols of how Massachusetts is tackling the climate crisis," @SenWarren told me. bostonglobe.com/2024/01/08/s…

Oh Happy Day. Let’s build on this victory. Gas Is the Past. @MannyCruz_MA @SenJoanLovely @SenWarren @SenMarkey
What's the future of natural gas in Massachusetts? A new order from the Dept of Public Utilities says won't it won't be "renewable natural gas."
The order is a sweeping rejection of "business as usual" More on what's in it 👇

Huge thanks to @dk_seav .Dorie Seavey of @GasTransitionAllies
“It is fair to say that a different lens will be applied to gas infrastructure investments going forward,” DPU commissioners wrote in the order, which you can read here: fileservice.eea.comacloud.ne…

SAFE’s work with Gas Transition Allies helped push this groundbreaking initiative. Gas should be in the past. @MannyCruz_MA @SenJoanLovely @dspangallo
“This is potentially the most transformational climate decision in Massachusetts history,” said @KyleTMurray1 of @AcadiaCtr told me. The order rejects a gas utility plan to blend RNG into gas pipelines, and goes a long way to stop expansion of gas in MA.

#SalemMA pay attention to a new proposal from Enbridge, Project Maple. Proposal to expand their pipeline in Salem so they can sell more fracked gas. It's time to stop investing in #fossilfuels. Last week's protests across multiple states: salemsafe.org/2023/11/22/act…

Volunteers planted Brookline’s first mini-forest in the Brookline Avenue Playground this fall. Pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, these small but mighty plots can provide a surprising array of #climate & other eco-benefits.

#SalemMA was awarded a $3.4M #MassWorks grant today to make critical improvements to the South River culvert at lower Lafayette St. This project benefits the immediate neighborhood & the nearly 2/3rds of our city that discharges stormwater through the culvert to the South River.

The plan for managing Oct in #SalemMA developed over many years thanks to the leadership of @KimDriscollMA. Always ways to improve to take on new challenges, but the foundation is strong thanks to work that’s been done & stronger yet thanks to dedicated staff who make it happen! – at Salem, MA
T-1 week until Halloween! This is the first time in 17 years that I’m not celebrating Halloween as the Mayor of Salem, but I know my friend Mayor @dspangallo has our city ready! 🎃 hauntedhappenings.org
Mayor @dspangallo making sidewalks safe and beautiful.
#SalemMA should be accessible for all, so we’re kicking off a citywide sidewalk assessment & repair project. Using SeeClickFix & 311 @SalemMADPS has taken in hundreds of repair requests. Now we’re creating a plan to zero that list out, with construction set to start this spring.

It was great to be back in school, and to see firsthand the impact of our free school meal program.
It’s National School Lunch Week, and every public school student in MA has a completely free, healthy meal waiting for them in the cafeteria!🥦🍎🥕🧃
Last month, we joined lunchtime at Snug Harbor Elementary, where @RonMariano used to teach.
