Commonwealth Green Pledge
my commitment to you
As your State Senator, I will make my community and the Commonwealth healthier and more sustainable. Together with my fellow elected and appointed leaders and the community at large, I will vote for legislation, amendments to legislation, or otherwise act to advance the following by:
Passing policies that position Massachusetts to accelerate its mandated targets as set by the Global Warming Solutions Act, putting us on a path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050.
Actively advocating for smarter, cleaner, and economical renewable energy developments, such as offshore wind and community-based solar, laying the groundwork for a 100% renewable energy future.
Tackling pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by supporting improved and expanded clean transportation options, smart land use and development policies, and widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
Preserving and stewarding critical natural areas, wildlife habitat, and water resources.
Involving and protecting low-income and/or environmental justice communities in environmental policy making, acknowledging that these communities often experience the worst consequences of climate change and population.
