Introducing MCAN's 2023 Legislative Priorities

Introducing MCAN's 2023 Legislative Priorities!

With the new legislative session well underway, we are excited to announce the Massachusetts Climate Action Network's 2023-2024 legislative priorities! 

These priorities reflect legislative efforts that must be implemented for our state to advance a just fossil-fuel-free future for all. They include 15 bills that center around four critical areas of action: equitable building decarbonization; the reduction of embodied carbon in our buildings; equitable climate action in municipal utilities; and the advancement of energy and environmental justice.

See MCAN's full list of legislative priorities here.

Register to join the webinar Feb 8 at 5 PM

Of our 15 legislative priorities, MCAN has identified four top priorities that are critical to building a healthy, resilient, equitable, green future for all.

MCAN's Top Four Priorities

  1. HD.776/SD.500 - An Act Establishing a Zero Carbon Renovation Fund. Learn more here.
  2. HD.131/SD.151 - An Act Advancing Clean Energy, Equity, and Innovation within Municipal Utilities. Learn more here.
  3. HD.1033/SD.840 - An Act Incorporating Embodied Carbon into State Climate Policy. Learn more here.
  4. HD.4024/S.505 - An Act Relative to Energy Facilities Siting Improvement to Address Environmental Justice, Climate, and Public Health. Learn more here.

Take action to support our legislative priorities by joining us tomorrow at 5:00 PM for MCAN's Valentine's Action for Critical Legislation. Find the details and RSVP using this link.

While our Commonwealth has made critical progress to advance climate action, we know that we have a long way to go to meet our climate targets and equitably transition to clean energy. 

Join us this legislative session in advancing our legislative priorities and working towards building a healthy, resilient, equitable, green future for all. 

With Gratitude,

Logan Malik
Interim Executive Director

Webinar: Health and Environmental Hazards of Artificial Turf and Safer Alternatives - Thursday, Jan 5, at noon

Topic
Health and Environmental Hazards of Artificial Turf and Safer Alternatives


Description: Many schools, municipalities, and parents are faced with decisions on creating healthy and safe play spaces for children. Research on the production, use, and disposal of artificial turf and synthetic playground surfacing has raised concerns about environmental  contamination, human health hazards, and adverse effects on wildlife. This includes concerns about carcinogens and other toxic chemicals found in materials used to make these play surfacing options. 

Chemicals of concern found in these materials can include metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and 6PPD-quinone, among others. There are also concerns about heat-related illnesses, skin infections, and microplastic pollution, among other health and environmental issues. 

During this webinar, Rachel Massey and Lindsey Pollard will discuss their research on health and environmental implications of artificial turf and safer alternatives.

Time: Jan 5, 2023 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)



Note: A similar webinar was held last year.  Find the details ->  https://www.healthandenvironment.org/webinars/96595

"Ageism" Presentation - via Zoom

Happy Sunday! Cold day today, but spring arrives in a few days. The weather report says we can expect temps in the 60's on Thursday.

*  According to a friend who works at Harvard, the university has over 700 job openings right now.
   Remember, the Boston area has over a hundred colleges.  Might be opportunities for many of you.

* A job-seeker told me some online job-applications use drop-downs for the "years of employment" and that the list of years stops in the mid-1980s.  Has anyone else noted dates creeping forward on applications?
