Not only must we fight back against President Trump and the fossil fuel lobbyists running the EPA, we must also pursue a bold clean energy agenda in Massachusetts and across the country. #EarthDay

The fight for the future of the Earth rests on our country transitioning away from dirty fossil fuels. We are still in court defending the #CleanPowerPlan and our booming clean energy economy. #EarthDay

The move to electric vehicles in Massachusetts was supercharged by our record-setting multi-million-dollar settlement with VW over the company's massive emissions fraud. #EarthDay

And while we continue transitioning to electric vehicles, we need to uphold protections that reduce auto pollution and save drivers money. That's why we're fighting for #CleanerCars. #EarthDay

When the EPA tried to ignore its responsibility to protect Americans from methane pollution, we took immediate action. #EarthDay

Just last week we led a coalition of states, counties, and cities calling on the EPA to do its job and continue to regulate toxic air pollution from fossil fuel burning power plants—the largest source of hazardous air pollution in the country. #EarthDay

And when President Trump moved to open the Atlantic coast to oil and gas drilling, we filed suit to stop him and #ProtectOurCoast. #EarthDay

We have a responsibility to protect the Earth and to fight every day to guarantee future generations a planet that is clean, habitable, and safe. This is a decisive moment and there isn't a second to waste. #EarthDay
