Manatees in Massachusetts???
Well, Labor Day is behind us and fall is here, unofficially. What stands out for me this summer is the weirdness of the weather and...manatees!

Green Cleaning Guide
Green cleaning means using less toxic cleaning products that are safer for people, animals, and the environment in homes, schools, and workplaces. Green cleaning practices can provide improved indoor air quality, reduce health risk from exposure, and protect the environment, while maintaining a healthy level of cleanliness and disinfection.

Letter to Congress Regarding H.R. 2 (June 2020)
June 29, 2020 Dear Representative,
The undersigned organizations support numerous provisions in H.R. 2, The Moving Forward Act, that invest in our nation’s water infrastructure, environmental justice, ecosystem restoration, and community resilience.
We depend on wastewater and stormwater infrastructure every day to prevent our communities from flooding, protect our sources of drinking water, and keep local rivers and lakes clean and safe for our families to enjoy.
