Charles River “Conservancy” Reports (1) Algae growth on the Lower Charles and (2) State Representatives working for environmental destruction

1. Algae Infestation.
2. State Representatives assist CRC’s fight for environmental destruction.

A couple of interesting points in this month’s report from the falsely named Charles River “Conservancy”.

1. Algae Infestation.

The CRC has noticed a blue-green algae bloom in the Lower Charles River basin.

I have not bothered to check their website to see what they claim might be its cause.

Reality reflects the high likelihood that this algae is the same algae which has reoccurred annually since the Department of Conservation and Recreation dumped Tartan on Ebersol Fields near the Massachusetts General Hospital.

The poor dears were distressed that their regular poisons were not doing the job and dumped Tartan on the fields to “remedy” the situation. Tartan is marked not for use near water. The next day the algae had poisoned the Charles River from the Mass. Ave. Bridge to the harbor, and was certain to return annually.

The poor dears.

In the CRC's world the destructive Department of Conservation and Recreation does no wrong.

Reality is irrelevant.

In the CRC's world the destructive Department of Conservation and Recreation does no wrong.

And the CRC will keep on telling you that while praising DCR destructiveness.

2. State Representatives assist CRC’s fight for environmental destruction.

The CRC reports: Earlier this week “State Reps Moran, Wolf, and Hecht filed an amendment to the transportation bond bill asking for funding to build” environmentally destructive "underpasses" on the Boston side. These would correspond to the "underpasses" which were condemned by responsible state bureaucrats on the Cambridge side as environmentally destructive. Same bridges, opposite end.

These would be constructed under the Anderson (Harvard Square), Western Avenue and River Street bridges.

I have reported on this outrage many times.

I know nothing about Moran and Hecht.

State Representative Alice Wolf is as environmentally destructive as is the rest of the Cambridge Machine, while claiming, falsely of course, environmental sainthood.
