(1/2) Proud of the young strikers standing up for our collective future today at the State House. I share their frustration. It’s shameful that our failure to act has made their civil disobedience a necessity @SunriseBoston #ClimateStrike #ClimateStrikeMA #ActOnClimate #mapoli

Please call Senate Ways and Means to push through bill H2909 that is for an air monitoring station at the fore river basin. 617-722-1481. How is this not passed? It’s basic help. Not even a solution it’s just to alert people of air quality. Come on Mass Senate!

NEW STUDY on #fracking from Carnegie Mellon U:

“For every three job years created by the industry, one year of life is lost for a resident. That means someone died a year prematurely due to increased pollution exposure for every 3 years of employment.” https://www.post-gazette.com/news/health/2019/12/08/shale-development-natural-gas-drilling-fracking-costs-health-study-pennsylvania-cmu/stories/201912060038

It feels so underimagined that tens of millions of people will die because politicians were satisfied with the pace of decarbonization (we switched from dirty coal to dirty natural gas but have no plan for beyond that everything’s fine).

Suffering kids, but no cool sci-fi story.
