Welcome!

Welcome to the Environment Massachusetts Blog! Here you’ll find updates on our work, in addition to news about things that interest us as environmentalists. There are many issues we may not work on directly, but are still on our minds and on the agendas of people who share our concerns.

Over the past few years, we’ve been heavily focused on energy and global warming legislation at the state level. I’m happy to say that it’s paid off --mostly-- but the implementation work, the real guts of legislation, still needs to be worked out. This will also be a venue to keep you up to date on that ongoing work.

But most importantly, we want this to be interactive…we have plenty of ways to talk at you, now we want to hear you. Our over-arching belief is that we represent residents of the Commonwealth, and I think we do a pretty good job of stepping in and acting as the voice of concerned Bay-Staters when powerful special interests try to destroy our environment. Your emails and phone calls definitely help to keep our advocacy informed, but more listening never hurt anyone.

Look for updates and ways to get involved here on the blog, and make sure to keep us posted, as well. Over the next few weeks we will be introducing you to our issues, and to our awesome team of volunteers, interns and staff that makes this thing work.

Sincerely,

Ben Wright, Global Warming Advocate

P.S. I’m going to be at the screening of Crude: The Movie at the Museum of Fine Arts in November, comment here if you’ll be there as well.
