In the #USA, #CertifiedOrganic #farmland represents only 1%, "a number which has been stagnant in this country for many years ... even though we have the greatest demand for #organic across the world" - @RealOrganicProj #ChooseOrganic #SustainableAgriculture #HealthyFood Dept. of Agriculture

It's "officiel"! #France's new law starts with a ban on #PFAS in #cosmetics, wax (like #SkiWax), consumer #clothing & #FabricTreatment on #NewYearsDay2026. We're working to pass a similar law in #Massachusetts. #StopUsingPFAS #TurnOffTheTap #MAPoli legifrance.gouv.fr/download/pdf?i…

We have long supported #restoration of #PassengerRail on the state-owned #HousatonicLine. Extension of the #DanburyLine to New Milford CT Economic Development will get us 16 miles closer to #TheBerkshires #RegionalEquity for rail service Leigh Davis William Buckbee Mass.

Despite recent rain and snowfall, the state's groundwater levels are not where they need to be for the upcoming growing season. We're asking all residents to follow state guidance and local water restrictions to keep water available for essential needs. mass.gov/conservemawater

Here's to less #NoisePollution & #AirPollution for landscape workers & residents. On the same day as #CambridgeMA, phase 2 of the @ArlingtonMAgov & Town of Lexington, MA by-laws will start just for commercial #landscapers. @CindyCreem Representative Michelle Ciccolo #MAPoli

Another successful #AgDay this week. Great to see so many student farmers committed to supporting & expanding #FoodSecurity & #SustainableAgriculture here in #Massachusetts.

Coca-Cola is estimated to use 4.5 million tons of #toxic #plastic annually by 2030 - about the same amount of #MunicipalSolidWaste that #Massachusetts generates per year now. About 14% of Coke's plastic will end up in the #ocean & other waters. #PlasticCrisis #PlasticFreeOceans

70 people (!) were still online after 2.5 hours at listening session tonight on eliminating #CombinedSewerOverflows into the #CharlesRiver in City of Cambridge & City of Somerville. Also testimony from residents of @ArlingtonMAgov. #CleanWaterNow MWRA @CharlesRiver MysticRiverWatershed MBTA

.The Boston Globe estimated 10,000 people on the Common. Crowds were overflowing the design capacity of 25,000 for #BostonCityHall plaza. The Chapter co-sponsored #HandsOffMassachusetts. Sierra Club has denounced the "'Historic' Wholesale Attack on the American People". #HandsOff2025

3 of the largest #MarthasVineyard towns approved a phased ban on gas-powered #LeafBlowers which will mean less #NoisePollution & #AirPollution for landscape workers & residents. #TisburyMA & #ChilmarkMA will vote next. Julian Cyr #DukesCounty #MAPoli

Today U.S. EPA released 1000+ pages of documentation for a new #PFAS #pesticide from #Syngenta (now owned by #ChineseGovernment), but allows only 15 days for #PublicComment. Non-essential uses include #turfgrass & #OrnamentalPlants. #NoPFAS #ForeverChemicals epa.gov/pesticides/epa…

Jess Nahigian of Massachusetts Sierra Club talks about how utility industry lobbying and expansion of unsustainable gas infrastructure are leading to higher bills. #mapoli

#FGases are #PFAS or similar #fluorocarbons. There's progress in commercial #refrigeration while vehicles & residential systems are still in development. Glad to see #Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) studying this problem. #NoPFAS #ForeverChemicals. Will Brownsberger -- Inactive Account Clean Water MA

New Amtrak #AcelaII trains are making test runs from #SouthStationBoston to #UnionStationDC. Below was recorded today at #MetroparkNJ. Revenue service is coming soon (people are now saying June). There is a #HighSpeedRail segment south of @Mansfield_MA. youtube.com/watch?v=gf43MJ…

.@TownOfBrookline passes two warrant articles: one expanding its by-law on #ShoppingBags & #ProductBags to all stores; & banning #BlackPlastic & adding #SkipTheStuff to its #SingleUse #FoodPackaging by-law. #SustainablePackaging Jamie Eldridge Mindy Domb Senator Becca Rausch - INACTIVE ACCOUNT #MAPoli

Round up of #plastics by-laws from #TownMeeting including Town of Pembroke, Town of Wellesley Town of Needham & #HudsonMA that address the #PlasticCrisis. Popular compaigns were to ban #BlackPlastic & "#SkipTheStuff". Momentum builds for state laws! #MAPoli sierraclub.org/press-releases…

The OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives definition for #PFAS is the gold standard & reflects the extreme #persistence of this class of synthetic #petrochemicals. Most U.S. state laws are correctly employing this definition including existing & proposed #Massachusetts laws. Ian Cousins Rainer Lohmann #MAPoli

This Governor Maura Healey bill will be heard on June 25. The bill has positives, but Sierra Club opposes #SmallModularReactors, which still face safety risks & #NuclearWaste challenges & is why no community is asking to host SMRs. We need #Clean #RenewableEnergy. malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H4144
