| Description | ELM ACHIEVED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT IN FISCAL YEAR 2010. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: 1) WE LAUNCHED THE GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTIONS PROJECT. GLOBAL WARMING IS THE KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME. ELM IS WORKING HARD TO FIND SOLUTIONS. IN THE LATE FALL OF 2009, ELM FORMED A DIVERSE COALITION TO HELP MASSACHUSETTS LEAD IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING. OUR AGENDA INCLUDES ENSURING THAT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM MASSACHUSETTS DECREASE BY AT LEAST 20 PERCENT BY 2020, AND BY FULLY 80 PERCENT BY 2050. 2) ELM ADVOCATED FORCEFULLY FOR SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS BEFORE THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE. THESE INCLUDED CRUCIAL CHANGES TO OUTDATED ZONING REGULATIONS THAT ENCOURAGE SPRAWL DEVELOPMENT; A NEW LAW THAT WOULD ENSURE THAT RIVERS ARE NOT PUMPED DRY BY WATER SUPPLIERS; NEW FUNDING FOR THE STATE'S SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY PRESERVATION ACT; EXPANSION OF THE BOTTLE BILL TO ENSURE RECYCYLING OF MANY MORE BEVERAGE CONTAINERS; DEFENSE OF ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS IN A TIME OF SEVERE CUTS TO ALMOST ALL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. 3) AFTER DETAILED RESEARCH, WE RELEASE ELM'S INFLUENTIAL GREEN BUDGET FOR FY2011. THIS YEAR THE GREEN BUDGET WAS TITLED "ON THE BRINK" TO EMPHAIZE THE PRECARIOUS STATE OF FUNDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAMS AND AGENCIES IN MASSACHUSETTS. ELM'S GREEN BUDGET IS READ AND CITED BY LEGISLATORS, ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCIES, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND THE MEDIA. IT IS A POWERFUL ADVOCACY TOOL THAT SPEAKS STRONGLY IN DEFENSE OF STATE FUNDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. | Description |
