  • Mass DEP hosts public meeting on KIDS vs. Global Warming Petition

    By Shanice Wallace

    Jun 19 20134:30pm

    "If the government’s action to address global warming were a basketball game, they are playing like it’s the first quarter when in reality there are only a few seconds left on the clock." A well put simile stated by Eshe Sherley in her video that started the KIDS vs. Global Warming Petition public hearing at Mass DEP last week. On Thursday June 13, young students from the Boston Latin School who are members of Youth Climate Action Network spoke to Massachusetts DEP and asked the agency to do more. These students along with two Boston College Law students demonstrated that they are concerned for our futures by creating a petition asking DEP to do what it is supposed to do. “Connect ...

  • Getting It Right in the Regional Process for Canadian Hydropower Imports

    By John Kassel

  • Boston Community Process for Urban Agriculture Rezoning Underway

    By Evan Coleman

    Jun 18 201312:11pm

    Since I last checked in, the comment period for Article 89 in Boston began and is now well underway. Article 89 is a proposed new section of the Boston zoning code that encourages and creates opportunities for commercial urban agriculture citywide. This is an important first step to expanding urban agriculture, and CLF is excited about the possibilities for our local food system. There are some aspects of Article 89, however, that we would like to see changed before implementation of the final version.  We’ll be at the neighborhood meeting in Jamaica Plain tonight to express these views, and hope to see you there! If you are interested in urban agriculture in Boston, this is your moment to get ... Read More
