@billmckibben With you in spirit! We had strong marches in Portland, Florence, Salem and Eugene, Oregon on Friday. Youth organized & all ages attending.
Like most places, MA is struggling to find enough workers to fill the many clean energy jobs required to achieve the transition *and* has a major equity/poverty challenge to overcome. For this Labor Day, I looked at some solutions that aim to address both. bostonglobe.com/2023/09/04/sci…

Cardboard boxes & paper filler can go into your recycling bin. Air pillows, bubble mailers, & #plastic shipping bags can go into plastic bag recycling programs in grocery and retail stores. Packing peanuts can be reused (check out a buy nothing or yard sale Facebook group)
Wondering how clean your cans, jars, jugs and tubs need to be for recycling? You're not alone! Wipe or rinse them to remove most liquid or food residue, which can contaminate other recyclables. No need to remove the paper labels!
To avoid plastic replaced broken down blender pitcher with metal version. Top is still plastic, but def improvement. Always check for #PlasticFree option! @PlasticPollutes #ZeroWaste @PlasticsBeyond @JustZeroOrg @storyofstuff

Yes, and one of the best investments we made in our FY24 budget!
In the end, it is all about the next generation. Got to make sure their bellies are full before you can teach kid's ABC's. This law invests in our future.
Now are you ready to #ActOnClimate?
