Staples launches new policy to drive toxic chemicals out of office supplies, electronics, textiles, and other products

Margo Simon Golden is one of the leaders of Massachusetts efforts to address the environmental causes of breast cancer. She was the long time Board President of the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. She was a founder of the Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow and one of the most active members of the AHT Steering Committee.

She died January 21, 2021 after a 24-year fight with cancer. She was one of the smartest, kindest and most thoughtful people we have ever met and we will miss everything about her.

On January 1, 2021, Governor Baker signed H4900 An Act to Protect Children, Families and Firefighters.

Huge thanks to Senator Cynthia Creem, Representative Marjorie Decker, the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts, Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts, MassPIRG, MassCOSH, Clean Water Action, Built Environment Plus, Margo Golden, and everybody who fought, for over 8 years, to put the health of children and firefighters over the profits of the chemical industry.
