Update: This event has been cancelled and will be rescheduled at a later date. We will update with new information as it comes in.
The Cape Ann Climate Coalition will be hosting an event where former Senator Bruce Tarr will address how the MA Climate Bill affects Cape Ann.
The event will be held on Thursday, November 10 at 7:00pm at the Rose Baker Senior Center and will have no entrance fee. All ages are encouraged to attend, however the youth of Gloucester are highly urged to come as this bill will affect their future.
Senator Tarr will be speaking to Gloucester residents about the bill during the event, as Tarr was on the climate reconciliation committee, which had helped get the bill towards the legislature.
The 250 million dollar Mass Climate Bill includes state policies as well as financial incentives that will unfold during the next few years.
Senator Tarr will be explaining how the bill affects residents of Cape Ann as well as the area in general, and will take questions and comments while he is present at the event.
Other local climate groups will also be available to speak with before and after the presentation and are also willing to hear feedback on how to create a more sustainable future.

I would love to see a local investigation into what happens to our recycling after we put our bins on the curb in Gloucester?
It is an issue that a lot of us care about locally, as we can see plastic blowing right into the ocean here, symbolizing our larger problem with plastic in this country. I just heard on NPR news last week:
“Greenpeace’s report confirms what a lot of environmentalists have been saying for a while now, that aside from a few soda bottles and containers like milk jugs, there are no markets for used plastic trash. It’s not economically feasible to collect it, to sort it or to sell it. And new plastic is cheap, and it’s easy to make.”
