CLF built its reputation enforcing bedrock environmental laws, including leading milestone lawsuits that led to the cleanup of Boston Harbor and the construction of a new Green Line subway line as redress for the air pollution caused by the Big Dig tunnel project. Today, we are building on that legacy by serving as an essential stopgap in the absence of federal oversight. And we’ve been successful – doggedly enforcing laws against powerful corporations content to dump toxic chemicals into our waterways or choke our air with dangerous fumes.
