Issue Position: Climate Change

Issue Position

The effects of a warming planet are all around us; rising sea levels and the threat to local ecosystems due to changing climate can't be ignored. I support the roadmap passed by the Massachusetts House to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by fifty percent by the year 2050. We must invest in clean, renewable sources of energy, including wind and solar.

Locally, we can reduce landfill methane gas by reducing what we throw away (I'm a proud customer of Black Earth Composting). The state should encourage local composting and toxic waste reduction.
