2Thursday, June 6, 2019T H E LY N N J O U R N A LPage 2editorialCONGRATULATIONS TO THEGuest Op-EdCLASS OF 2019A Green New Deal of actionBlackGraduation Day is one of the few occasions that brings a smileto the faces of everyone in a community, regardless of whether theyknow a graduate. It is an occasion when all of us share in the joy -- andpride -- that graduation day marks in the lives of our young people.For older folks, graduation day recalls a time when we too, were youngand full of life.However, graduation day marks a bittersweet moment for parents,friends, family, and teachers, as well the grads themselves. As befits every turning point in our lives, it is a time of mixed emotions of joy, sadness, and reflection. Although the graduates and those close to themare looking forward to the exciting future that lies before them, theyalso will be looking back on the passing of their carefree youth and theexperiences that have shaped their lives to this point.The young women and men who receive their diplomas no longerare considered “youths” in the eyes of the world. They are full-fledgedadults who have been deemed ready to assume all of the rights -- andresponsibilities -- that adulthood implies.The graduates, most of whom have turned 18, can vote, run for public office, enter into contracts, be tried fully as adults in the criminaljustice system, and fight and die for their country.For the parents of the grads, watching their “little boy or girl” proceed to the podium to receive his or her diploma will be a poignantmoment. No doubt every parent will be thinking of the sentimentsexpressed in the song Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler On The Roof:Is this the little girl I carried?Is this the little boy at play?I don’t remember growing olderWhen - did - they?When did she get to be a beauty?When did he grow to be so tall?Wasn’t it yesterday when they - were - small?Although economists these days tell us that the value of a highschool diploma is not what it was a generation or more ago, the graduates should keep in mind, as they contemplate venturing out into anuncertain future, that their mere presence on the podium has proventhat they have the ability and the determination to achieve whatevergoals they may set for themselves.We came across a news item from one of our sister publications, TheWinthrop Sun-Transcript, from June 24, 1898. The article, which reprinted the Class Ode for the Winthrop High Class of 1898, is as timely today as it was 121 years ago, and sums up the feelings of all of uson Graduation Day.The years pass by in swift arrayWe cannot check their onward flight;The moments that were ours today,Have passed forever from our sight.Yet while the course of life moves byWe too, must never lag behind;But work and strive as best we mayTo aid and benefit all mankind.This we must do, or soon too lateWe think in sadness of our loss,For “Each is Master of his Fate,”Though some must bear a heavy cross.And when the race of life is run,This life that holds so much for eachShall come the gentle words, “Well done!”As we at last the goal have reached.By Jack ClarkeMassachusetts needs its ownGreen New Deal – but it needs to bea deal of action.Although not a law but more aresolution expressing the will of theCongress on the necessity to addressthe climate crisis and economic inequality, the Green New Deal, filedby New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and ourown Sen. Ed Markey, was killed bythe Senate in a vote following no review and analysis by legislative staff,no expert testimony or committeehearings, and no floor debate. Themessage was clear: the U.S. Senatedoes not want to discuss the climate’sbreakdown. So we at the state levelwill.The name harkens back to theNew Deal and its social and economic reforms, and public worksprojects, undertaken by PresidentFranklin Roosevelt in response tothe Great Depression.The Green New Deal echoes Roosevelt’s economic stimuli incentivesand adds plans for renewable energyand resource efficiency.FDR’s New Deal was not realizedin one bill in one year, but becamelaw through various pieces of legislation over the first three years ofhis first administration. Beacon Hilllawmakers should also develop anambitious multi-year plan to meaningfully confront climate change, themost urgent threat of our lifetime, intheir version of a Green New Deal –but it needs to be more than a goodidea. And it needs to pass.Although the national Green NewDeal is admittedly a vision statement,the Massachusetts version should bea statutory set of requirements withgoals, targets, and reasonable datesthat move us forward in addressingthe climate breakdown.Our version should start with andinclude at a minimum, laws establishing:§ Zero net carbon emissions,meaning Massachusetts emits onlythe carbon emissions that it can capture or reabsorb – by 2050.§ An annual increase in theamount of clean energy that utilitiesare required to buy, leading to 100percent renewables – by 2047.§ Environmentally responsibledevelopment of 6,000 megawatts ofoffshore wind energy, and quicklyscaling up from there. This is wellbeyond the 1,600 MW required now– by 2027.§ A carbon fee: Massachusettsand eight other states, along withthe District of Columbia, are presently participating in the Transportation Carbon Initiative thatwould cap regional transportationemissions and require fuel wholesalers to buy pollution permits forthe fuels they sell. Revenues fromthe sale of the permits would thengo back to states for investmentsin public transit, electric vehicles,bike lanes, and other initiatives toreduce carbon emissions in thetransportation sector – by 2021.And if the regional approach fails,Massachusetts needs to be ready togo out on our own and pass a statewide carbon fee.§ Improved solar options: allownet metering not just for Massachusetts homes but for all non-residential solar facilities to free up BayState businesses and communitiesto build more solar projects, createmore jobs, and allow for millions ofdollars of investments – by 2021.§ Create green jobs: Mobilizethe academic and research assets ofthe Commonwealth to more fullycontribute to the innovation economy and create more green jobs.This will require increased investments of private and state fundsin Massachusetts’ 114 colleges anduniversities to research and applyadvanced technologies in the fieldsof deep-water offshore wind energy, solar, carbon capture and reuse, and long-term high-quantitybattery storage. This investment ineducation and innovation wouldunleash clean energy jobs. Although there are 110,700 such jobsin the Commonwealth workforcetoday, it’s still just 3 percent of Massachusetts employment. It needs togrow substantially – by 2021.§ Environmental, social andeconomic justice principles shouldbe embedded in all newly passedstate laws whereby the power ofcommunities of color, low-income,rural, indigenous, under-represented and non-English speakingresidents in Massachusetts wouldbe harnessed to help eradicate environmental racism and classism,to create healthy, and sustainablecommunities – by 2019.The changes we experience today, such as stronger storms, accelerated sea-level rise, and intenseheat are just the beginning of whatshould be expected.There needs to be a sense ofurgency on Beacon Hill when itcomes to our climate emergency,especially as recent reports fromthe Intergovernmental Panel onClimate Change and the NationalClimate Assessment warn we haveonly 12 years to figure out a solution before things really start to fallapart.For my grandchildren, six yearold Haley and her five year oldbrother Jack, who will be teenagersin twelve years, it is time for lawmakers to act, and to act now.Jack Clarke is the director of public policy and government relationsat Mass Audubon.T h e L ynn J ournalPRESIDENT: Stephen QuigleyEDITOR IN CHIEF: Cary Shuman cary@lynnjournal.comPHONE 781-485-0588 // FAX 781-485-1403Email: editor@lynnjournal.comWeb Site: www.lynnjournal.comDIRECTORYAdvertising & MarketingDirector of MarketingDebra DiGregorio(deb@reverejournal.com)Assistant Marketing DirectorsMaureen DiBellaSenior Sales AssociatesPeter SaccoKathleen BrightLegal AdvertisingEllen BertinoBusinessAccounts ExecutiveJudy RussiEditorialPage Design, Copy EditingScott YatesReporting StaffSeth DanielJohn LyndsPrinterConcord Monitor (N.H.)
