Passage of the @SenatorHarckham @DeborahJGlick packaging reduction bill in ny will turbo charge these business innovations. @CarlHeastie the bill already passed in the senate
Great article about a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic cups. This is the kind of buy-in we need from companies.

A bite from the remarkable @SharonLavigne5, founder of @risestjames, at the People Vs. Citi hearing that kicked off the #SummerOfHeat. She's taking on the fossil fuel companies poisoning her community in Louisiana. See the full talk here: youtu.be/HKDzhbx3B0o?feature…

Community composting is being restored—all because you stood up for it. Read my statement with @SaveNYCCompost here:
ALT New Yorkers spoke—and the City Council listened. With everything at stake, our city’s vibrant composting community stopped at nothing to fight back against the proposed mayoral budget cuts. They showed up in droves at rallies and press conferences. They testified at every committee hearing. They called their district offices. They signed petitions, wrote letters, and approached their council members in the street to demand restorations. It all mattered. Today, we are incredibly proud to announce that the Council will be restoring $6.245 million to community composting program and creating a new, more sustainable path forward for our community composting coalition.

Floatable plastics cause BIG PROBLEMS for our sewers! The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act could save taxpayers and municipalities money in repairs and maintenance by reducing waste at the source! Learn more here: on.nyc.gov/3V0XJ9l

There’s a troubling new study that shows food packaging contains harmful PFAS chemicals. These “forever” chemicals have been linked to serious health conditions and that’s a problem. My Packaging Reduction bill would put a stop to this in NY.
