SUMMARY:Fighting for Air: Updates on the proposed biomass plant in Springfield
DESCRIPTION:The Pioneer Valley Asthma Coalition has been working for 20 years to support families and decrease asthma rates. Two recent court decisions have revived permits for a biomass plant in Springfield\, MA\, which could reverse the strides made to prevent poor asthma outcomes. Biomass energy involves burning organic matter such as wood\, which pollutes our air with harmful particulate matter. Community groups and health advocates have been fighting against this proposed plant for more than a decade. \nNow\, there’s a critical opportunity: state law\, proposed by Sen. Adam Gomez and Rep. Orlando Ramos\, aims to eliminate state financial incentives for biomass\, making the proposed plant less viable. \nJoin us for a webinar on Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025\, from 12:00-1:00 pm to understand the health impacts of biomass\, how this vital legislation can help block it\, and what you can do to make a difference.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\nState Senator Adam Gomez\nMichael Fenton\, Springfield City Council President\nRusty Polsgrove\, Associate Director\, Arise for Social Justice\nDr. Matthew Sadof\, pediatrician\, Baystate Health
