Slashing greenhouse gas emissions and growing the economy go hand-in-hand. CA has proved that – in one year we achieved nearly 4% economic growth while cutting close to 4% in harmful emissions. CalEPA and its partner agencies are working hard to keep this trend going.

As Californians face longer & more intense periods of extreme heat, joining the Friends of the Kigali Amendment is both timely & critical. It's a commitment to the wellbeing of our communities & future generations from super pollutant emissions. #climateweeknyc

Climate pollution knows no borders. By joining forces with Quebec and exploring linking our carbon market with Washington’s, we are setting the stage to strengthen pollution reduction and create an even stronger market. Learn more: ow.ly/b9WL50ZQGhZ
It’s a deep point of pride that California is moving forward with the process of linking its Cap-and-Invest program to Washington’s carbon market, building on our existing partnership with Québec to cut emissions and toxic global pollution. This means more reliable pollution reductions and local investments, no matter what happens in DC.

A recycling center that scans, sorts and makes recycling easier? Yes, it exists in a Placer County community, thanks in part to CalRecycle funding. The new technology gives residents another convenient way to recycle CRV beverage containers. ♻️

Coastal Cleanup Day isn’t always about picking up trash. 🌱 Volunteers near the American River Parkway moved and spread mulch to prepare the area for native plants. A different kind of cleanup, with the same goal: caring for our environment. ♻️

Good food. Good company. Less trash. 🧺♻️ At a recent CalRecycle picnic, staff made sure beverage containers were recycled, food scraps were composted and waste went in the right bin. That’s how we do our #ReduceReuseRecycle picnic!
