Issues: Sustainability

Today the Commonwealth faces challenges as great as any in our generation, but we must achieve solutions that are sustainable, both for our environment and our economy. I am proud to have the support of the Massachusetts Sierra Club because we share that commitment to environmental protection and a strong, sustainable Massachusetts. As a nurse, I am well aware of the fact that we need to preserve our natural environment as well as the indoor environment to protect the health and safety of our children, families, workers and seniors.  


We should encourage green technologies as part of a diversified economic growth strategy. This includes other potentially high-growth sectors, such as biotech and life sciences. Green technologies can bring jobs in research, design, engineering and manufacturing. I also support moving to renewable energy sources to lessen our dependence on imported fossil fuels.
