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…

Tiverton wells have 'nightmare' levels of 'forever chemical' contamination

One of the wells showed the highest levels of PFAS ever seen in a private well in the state.

Good news Friday! Remember when we went dumpster-diving in JP last year to collect data on trash? We've been busy since then building solutions! Read all about them in our latest blog post! cleanwater.org/2026/10/02/go…

Good News from JP: We’re taking on take-out trash!

Remember when we went dumpster-diving into downtown Jamaica Plain trash cans a year ago? That was the start of something big - a project to help one neighborhood take on single-use disposable waste....

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 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…

Read & share our timely piece on data centers with Mireille Bejjani. People & planet over billionaire tech takeover. It takes a movement! @SlingshotAction commonwealthbeacon.org/opini…

Massachusetts must put communities before data center profits

Before we commit to a new generation of energy-intensive infrastructure, we must prove that the benefits outweigh the costs and ensure that residents determine what comes next in their communities.

PFAS?! In stuffed animals? Yes, that is bad news. Worse, today is the last day of the MA legislative session, and the Legislature has not moved forward on a bill to restrict PFAS in children's products. tinyurl.com/2a43k8nb

PFAS may be in your kid’s favorite plush animal – what parents need to know

Give a beloved teddy bear or other stuffed creature to a baby or toddler and they might try to put it in their mouth.
