📝#AB1276 by @AsmCarrillo builds on CA's landmark “plastic straws upon request” law 🥤to include other single-use food accessories 🍽️ like forks, spoons, stirrers, napkins and more - and expands the law to delivery services.
ALT Image: pink and yellow disposable plastic forks and spoons. Text: Give takeout customers what they want: Make forks, spoons, and other disposable items available only on request. Cut food serviceware waste. Support AB 1276 (Carrillo). #CircularEconomy #CAMustLead

The Water Boards' job is to protect & restore #cawater quality, not to protect commercial interests. Though on California's Central Coast, regulators say harmful farming practices should continue, allowing degradation of our coast, health, & environment: bit.ly/3eBEtKa.

Everyone deserves clean water - not just the wealthy! That is why we introduced #AB377 - the #CACleanWaterAct - so that all Californians can have access to drinkable water, clean swimming holes, and fish that's safe to eat. We demand clean water in our lifetime!

Millions of people visit CA's coast & beaches each year - but also risk getting sick from trash & other pollution that wash into the ocean. #AB377 will keep CA's waters healthy & tourist destinations safe to enjoy: bit.ly/3sArwX4. #CACleanWaterAct @AsmRobertRivas

CA has a lot to lose – and a lot to gain – in the fight for clean water. What clean #cawater benefit matters most to you? #CACleanWaterAct #AB377 @AsmRobertRivas @AsmBillQuirk

What does CA stand to gain by cleaning up our waterways? Jobs; clean drinking water; and safe places to swim, fish, & enjoy - to name a few. The #CACleanWaterAct will ensure that our #cawater future is bright. #AB377 @AsmRobertRivas @AsmBillQuirk

In 1969, Ohio's Cuyahoga River caught fire for the 13th time, sparking a movement that led to the national Clean Water Act. Today, 95% of CA’s waters are still plagued w/ pollution. #AB377 will put the 'clean' back in the Clean Water Act. #CACleanWaterAct

Got a case of the Monday blues? These blue rockfish (Sebastes mystinus) can help with that #MondayMotivation! Blue rockfish young of the year (YOY) are usually the first rockfishes to recruit to kelp forest canopies in Spring/Summer. Just keep swimming!

#Poseidon's ocean desalination plant will kill marine life with dangerous intake pipes & toxic brine. "I think staff in the draft permit lose sight of that. Minimizing marine life mortality is the most important thing." - @bothwell_ca. bit.ly/36BTnL9. #SayNOtoPoseidon

It’s been a busy, but successful year! As @CA_Waterkeepers, we’ve influenced policies at the @CAWaterBoards & at the #CALeg to prevent pollution from reaching our rivers, creeks, & beaches! Learn more here: bit.ly/2PbM6dY. #cawater p/c: Shannon Switzer

Last month, @SBChannelkeeper & the City of Ventura reached an interim settlement to restore flows for steelhead & other fish in the Ventura River. Thank you for keeping CA swimmable, drinkable, & fishable! 👏 bit.ly/35s1J8m. #cawater
