Last hearing (!) for MA Clean Energy & Climate 2050 plan 10/11/22 for oral comments; written comments due 10/21/22. FMI https://t.co/8rawi97jky Another chance to say hands off our forests & wetlands (aka NWL-natural & working lands) already keeping tons of carbon in trees & soil

Permits for East Springfield biomass plant rescinded, MassLive reports. A victory for perseverance

[Jesse L. Lederman @JLLederman]

From the grassroots to the United States Senate, we’ve never stopped fighting for clean air in Springfield. @AriseSocialJust @CLF @SlingshotAction @EdMarkey https://t.co/eORwCo0tvr

Climate change at home: Rejection of biomass as ‘renewable’ rooted in western Mass. advocacy.
The legislature followed efforts of local activists and scientists highlighting impacts on forest, climate and health. https://t.co/Y5zNK4GAnZ

Belmont Hill School plans to clearcut a vibrant woodland to build a 153 car parking lot & mechanical facility. Sign the Petition to stop it: https://t.co/wjIQrnaPfh @Change This land is home to hundreds of species, from fox to screech owl to stately 100-ft oaks, maples, spruce

Standout to raise awareness about clearcutting 370 acres of forest along 29 miles of western MA transmission line through 11 towns. Calling for an environmental review #stopeversourceexpansion @CAN_mass @OurRevolutionMA

[Climate Action Now MA @CAN_mass]

Standout at @EversourceMA on 10/18/22 to stop the widening of areas cleared around transmission lines along a 29-mile stretch running through 11 towns in the western Conn. River Valley. They want to double the width to 200 ft, clearcutting 370 more acres of forest--with no EIR!

No biomass in the RPS!

BREAKING: New Massachusetts law removes biomass from Renewable Portfolio Standard. HUGE VICTORY! Thank you to legislative champions and coalition partners! #mapoli

[Climate Action Now MA @CAN_mass]

Biomass is OUT for RECs. A hard-won victory, brought by people all over who pushed the state away from this polluting energy source #notoxicbiomass

[Partnership for Policy Integrity @TeamPFPI]

Wood-burning power plants in Mass. won’t qualify for renewable energy credits. Local activists are celebrating https://t.co/lXByu712Ba #mapoli #stopfakerenewables

[Jesse L. Lederman @JLLederman]

Pretty outrageous that Gov. @CharlieBakerMA just tried to sneak public subsidies for biomass incinerators like the one that threatened our children and seniors in Springfield back into the MA climate bill. Legislature needs to override these vetoes & amendments ASAP. #mapoli

[Climate Action Now MA @CAN_mass]

Governor Baker vetoed the climate bill, sending back amendments that protect subsidies for polluting biomass power plants.
Ask the Legislature to override - they'll be voting this weekend! Write a @theactionnet letter: https://t.co/ItyuFXtjcV

@TDBank_US and @BankofAmerica :
Since you funded new oil/gas/coal investments with $$$$ BILLIONS just year, are your "green" initiatives sincere?
We informed many passers-by.

"We have to move as a movement together in the spirit of trust and love and it is more powerful than all their violence and all of their racist laws. I’m just so amazed at the number of people who are now standing up and saying “OK, this involves me.”"
