Earth Day environment Massachusetts COVID low-income communities color

Kathleen Theoharides This Earth Day it is not enough to celebrate past environmental success and ramp up strategies to combat climate change. We must also recognize that certain Massachusetts communities – low-income populations, communities of color, and communities with limited English proficiency – have been disproportionately burdened by environmental harms like pollution, while having limited or incomplete input into environmental decision-making. This past year, long overdue public conversations on racial injustice have placed a spotlight on these inequalities in environmental impacts. Meanwhile, as we’ve grappled with a global public health challenge, studies have shown that air pollution makes people more vulnerable to diseases like COVID-19, highlighting the human cost of these disparities.

MIAA wrestling gets approval for spring season

High school wrestling is finally getting the green light. The MIAA on Wednesday announced that state health officials have verbally confirmed that wrestling will be allowed to stage competitions during the spring season, which runs from April 26-July 3. Wrestling is usually a winter sport, but it was moved out of its traditional setting as the MIAA tried to buy extra time to grapple with the innate challenges of staging a hands-on, close-contact sport during a pandemic. While other spring sports such as baseball, softball, lacrosse, rugby, track, tennis and boys volleyball already had been approved, with slight COVID-19 modifications, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) had delayed signing off on wrestling until it examined data from the football season, which is going on now during the new Fall 2 wedge season. It was thought that examples of disease transmission during football games would preclude wrestling from being approved.

EEA deems Parallel Products environmental impact report inadequate

NEW BEDFORD The state s environmental office earlier this month issued a certificate stating the final environmental impact report submitted by Parallel Products for its proposed expansion into a solid waste processing facility did not adequately and properly comply with state policy. Kathleen Theoharides, secretary of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), said the report did not comply with the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) and as a result, Parallel Products must submit a supplemental final environmental impact report. I find that further analysis of the project s impacts and mitigation measures is required to satisfy the MEPA requirements that the project s environmental impacts have been clearly described and fully analyzed or that it has incorporated all feasible means to avoid Damage to the Environment, Theoharides wrote.
