Even this guy knows to Scoop the Poop every stinkin’ time! 😂💩 Almost 25% of bacteria in urban and suburban waterways—including the Bay and rivers—comes come from dog waste. 🤢 Pick up after your pup every time to help keep our water cleaner and healthier for everyone!

It's official. Clean Water Action endorses YES on 6! Everyone in MA deserves clean drinking water and access to nature, no matter where they live. This year we have an opportunity to protect waterways while expanding greenspaces for communities that need them most. Vote #YesOn6!

As the leaves start filling your lawn, remember that you don't have to send them away. If you can't leave them lay where they fall, could you consider moving them to a corner of your yard to break down naturally while providing habitat for our smallest neighbors?

Hung out with some incredible students at the Boston U Sustainability Fair. Did you know that they use reusable to-go containers in the dining hall? That means less litter blowing into the Charles River and lots of trash stopped before it starts! Go Terriers!

Data centers are coming fast, and MA still has no enforceable protections to mitigate their impact on our environment, health, and communities. Take our data center survey! The more voices we gather, the stronger our case for regulations! ➡️ surveymonkey.com/r/3F9F63M

🚨 The EPA wants to strip protections from our streams and wetlands. That could put most wetlands and many seasonal streams at risk. We need to fight it. 👉 Read our response: cleanwater.org/releases/epa-…

The Massachusetts AG is suing PFAS manufacturers for the mess they made in our state. MA legislative leaders are allowing the same manufacturers to continue the harm. Why? @RonMariano @RepMichlewitz @JulianCyr @repkatehogan masslive.com/opinion/2026/08…

Hate plastic pollution? Worried about rising energy costs? Clean Water Action and 100 @TuftsUniversity students are teaming up this weekend to talk to Boston residents about issues we all care about from Zero Waste dining to data centers! See you out there!

As the MA Legislature fails to pass a bill to restrict toxic PFAS, there are nightmare levels of PFAS being found just over our borders in Tiverton, RI. This is the human cost of inaction on PFAS. heraldnews.com/story/news/en…

Just days left for action to protect our health and our water from toxic #PFAS. Our neighboring states have passed laws restricting these forever chemicals. Massachusetts deserves safe water too. Tell your legislators! TAKE ACTION at our link: act.cleanwater.org/page/1953…

Important story. Draconian federal cuts have led to real impacts on local people, including kids with asthma.
Once deemed the “Asthma Capital of the United States,” Springfield was awarded a nearly $20 million EPA grant in 2024 to address the issue. Six months later, the grant was terminated.

We'll be on the front lines of the fight against unchecked data center growth that puts our communities and environment at risk. We're thrilled MA has paused accepting applications for the data center tax exemption until stronger safeguards are in place. ➡️mass.gov/news/governor-heale…

It's an opinion piece, but the FACT remains: Our neighboring states are taking action to protect residents from toxic PFAS, and Massachusetts is getting left behind. There is still time left this session for the legislature to act! But not much...
#OPINION Massachusetts is the only New England state that has not banned the toxic chemicals known as PFAS. Unless the Legislature acts, residents will be exposed to the health risks of PFAS and will be forced to shoulder the cost of cleaning them up. buff.ly/08de0Qu
