Gambling researcher Rachel Volberg comments on the introduction of legalized sports betting in Massachusetts. "There are some groups that we think will be vulnerable because of their lack of experience with gambling or because they're being targeted very specifically by the sports betting operators in an effort to grow the market," she tells WBUR 90.9 FM.

A broad coalition of environmental, housing and education advocacy groups say they have a plan to help Massachusetts meet one of its most challenging climate goals: “decarbonizing,” or dramatically reducing carbon emissions, from buildings in the state.
The idea is fairly straightforward. The groups are asking the legislature to set aside $300 million from the state’s remaining federal COVID-19 relief funds to help retrofit affordable and public housing units, schools, libraries and other municipal buildings.
If established, the money in the “Zero Carbon Renovation Fund” would be managed by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and could be used for things like swapping out fossil-fuel based heating and cooking systems for electric ones, improving energy efficiency in buildings with insulation and new windows, or even helping with the cost of rooftop solar panels.

🗞️ Check out this incredible piece from WBUR 90.9 FM about our member, Youth Villages, and a family in their Intercept program:
When Haley was brought to the emergency department in October, she was one of 115 children and teenagers who went to a hospital emergency room that week in a crisis and got stuck there. She waited two days in a bed in a hallway before the hospital social worker suggested the Youth Villages Intercept for Emergency Diversion program. WBUR sat down with Haley and her mom to talk about their experience.

DARE did not work because it did not understand how kids' and drugs addicts' brains function.
Neither can just say "No!".
Nothing is ever that simple.
LAPD police chief, Daryl Gates, did not understand the degree to which kids and people in the throes of addiction, cannot say no, either.
Dr. Drew Pinsky I am sure can tell anyone all about why was destined to fail, as well. He is an addiction medicine specialist.
The U.S. government has denied a request from a group of environmental organizations to immediately apply proposed ship-speed restrictions in an effort to save a vanishing species of whale.
