As consumers flock to “reef-safe” and “ocean-friendly” skincare, beauty brands are selling a vision of ocean purity that is more marketing-driven than science-based.
The personal care industry has mastered the art of marketing eco-consciousness— evolving beyond familiar labels like “green,” “clean,” and “natural”—into a new wave of sea-inspired branding that claims to champion ocean conservation.
Terms such as “reef-safe” and “ocean-friendly” evoke images of crystalline waters and thriving coral reefs, yet behind the glossy marketing lies a regulatory murk. With no federal standards or clear definitions, consumers are left to navigate a tide of misleading labels.
As “ocean-safe” products flood the market—wrapped in teal hues and marine motifs—the illusion of ecological responsibility is gaining momentum, but it’s worth asking whether these gestures represent genuine sustainability or merely performative eco-branding.
Everyone in Massachusetts — no matter where we live — deserves clean drinking water and access to nature. Next year, Massachusetts has an important opportunity to protect our rivers, lakes, forests, farms, and other natural areas.
In coordination with our parallel legislative campaign, a wide coalition of organizations is also pursuing the Protect Water and Nature Ballot Initiative as a question on the November 2026 ballot. If lawmakers don’t act, we’re ready to bring this issue directly to voters through a 2026 ballot question.
Our goals are simple: dedicate funds from the existing state sales tax on sporting goods to raise $100 million every year for protecting and conserving water and nature — without raising taxes. It’s time to protect the places we love — clean water, healthy forests, more trails and parks, and access to the outdoors and nature for everyone in Massachusetts.

Antarctica has moved to “the front of the line” as a global warming threat that’s already well beyond expectations, and it’s happening fast. Based upon upon statements by polar scientists over the past 18 months, it warrants a Red Flag Warning, meaning higher than expected risks of catastrophic meltdown within current lifetimes.

Protesters blockaded the main entrance to the Cop30 climate conference for several hours early on Friday morning, demanding to speak to Brazil’s president about the plight of the country’s Indigenous peoples.
About 50 people from the Munduruku people in the Amazon basin blocked the entrance with some assistance from international green groups, watched by a huge phalanx of riot police, soldiers and military vehicles.
They hoped to speak to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to explain their grievances. “We demand the presence of President Lula, but unfortunately we are unable to do so, as always,” said one of the protesters. “We were always barred, we were never listened to.”
Instead the group had to settle for André Corrêa do Lago, the amiable Cop president, who spent more than an hour listening and talking to the group’s representatives.
Long queues formed outside the centre and delegates were diverted to a small side entrance. Eventually the activists relocated to a building to hold further discussions with Corrêa do Lago.
