Toxics Action Center
Since 1987, Toxics Action Center has helped more than 575 community groups across New England prevent and clean up toxic pollution. We work on a variety of issues, including cleaning up hazardous waste sites, stopping proposed landfills and incinerators, preventing the spraying of pesticides, pressuring companies to reduce their toxic chemical use, and other issues that threaten the health and safety of residents, neighborhoods, and the environment. We have offices in all six New England states. This is Toxics Action Center’s 22nd annual citizen’s conference in Massachusetts. Contact us at www.toxicsaction.org or 617-292-4821
Massachusetts Climate Action Network (MCAN)
MCAN is dedicated to halting the threat of global climate change. We strive to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in our communities and the state. Our network is composed of local and statewide groups that have joined together to achieve local reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. MCAN is also striving to change climate policy at the state level, through influencing the state’s climate action plan, legislation related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, and transportation, and regional planning efforts.

Environment Massachusetts
We all want clean air, clean water, and open spaces. But it takes independent research and tough-minded advocacy to win concrete results for our environment, especially when powerful interests stand in the way of environmental progress. That’s the idea behind Environment Massachusetts. We focus on protecting Massachusetts’ air, water, and open spaces. We speak out and take action at the local, state, and national levels to improve the quality of our environment and our lives. Contact us at 617-747-4400 or www.environmentmassachusetts.org.
