Environmental Priorities
Environment is a huge set of topics encompassing health, global warming, land protection, and a host of other issues. With the input of dozens of environmental organizations from across the Commonwealth, we have compiled this list of legislation that we will be watching during 2009-2010.

In 2006, MLEV pulled together other organizations to create a focused legislative agenda. The resulting coalition, the Mass Green Agenda, includes nine other leading environmental organizations in Massachusetts, working together to strengthen the voice of the green community. The Mass Green Agenda allows us to better speak with one voice to the legislature and public. Although the coalition does not currently include all environmental organizations, we are hoping it will continue to grow in membership and clout. The 2007-2008 legislative session gave Massachusetts significant victories for the environment, including the passage of four of six Mass Green Agenda priority bills.
