Salem Alliance for the Environment (SAFE) is a group dedicated to addressing environmental issues through education, advocacy, and community organizing.
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.
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. https://t.co/do8fcCCMSF
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 👇

@KyleTMurray1 @AcadiaCtr “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: https://t.co/OawLBsw6J6
“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: https://t.co/5yy0k94MdE
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!
#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.
