A 9-year old East Boston girl is fighting for her life in critical condition, injured in the recent East Boston fire. Her single mother lost everything & we need prayers that she pulls through & every bit of donation to help the family. Everything helps! https://t.co/Dve6rQMG6N
We don’t need more artificial turf nor let our children play in it. We need real grass with real soil! @CityOfBoston remember when you turned the beautiful natural lawn at LoPresti Park in Eastie by the waterfront into artificial turf?

The first right whale calf of the season has been found dead in Georgia after being severely injured by a boat. Updated vessel speed regulations could have saved this three-month-old baby.

In an incredibly rare event, our #AndersonCabotCenter aerial survey team spotted a gray whale off the New England coast last week, a species that has been extinct in the Atlantic for more than 200 years! 😮

@BrentToderian Certainly not the extremely dangerous pedestrian crosswalk across Route 1A in Eastie that is causing multiple fatalities of people walking to & from work. Utter negligence by @MassDOTSafety & @BostonBTD that it even exists as such with no regard for human life.
@CycleJargon Don’t forgot the negligent “crosswalk” that @MassDOTSafety & @BostonBTD keeps allowing to exist that killed yet another pedestrian a few weeks ago on Rt1A in Eastie. How many peds have to die crossing? Pls do something NOW about that utterly dangerous crossover! @LoganCleanAir

This project is an unparalleled opportunity to reimagine the western gateway to Boston. It would set a national standard in how to use once-in-a-generation federal funding to overhaul last century’s car-centric transportation system.

Big Oil & the plastics industry deceived the public for decades about the recyclability of plastics.
Read new findings from @climatecosts for why officials should hold these companies accountable for the fraud of plastic recycling.

@AlertBoston We’ve worked with Nancy on community preparedness and climate resilience for years in Eastie. Congratulations and thank you for serving our community 🙏💪🏾🚨!
@boston25 We are starting to see too many “incidents”, fact is that w/ the incessant expansion of Logan, an airport actually embedded in a n’hood (Eastie) & all its pollution, pushing as many flights out for maximum profit is one of the gravest injustices against people in Boston.
LOGAN AIRPORT: Alert 2 for Delta 1103. 157 souls & 23K of fuel onboard. Reported issues with cargo door. MASSPORT FD, MSP, BEMS, BPD staging. Flight next to land. 12:56
Pledged to build a library? An empty room isn’t a library.
In 2008, Seaport Square master developer pledged to deliver a public library and 200-seat school with approval of 6.3msf of new buildings. In 2010, two 5,000sf empty rooms were approved. In 2017…
Gotta love the Globe.
