Yet our democratic leaders @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov in New York State saw no reason to pass relevant climate legislation this session. #climatecrisis www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is an epic failure on the part of democrat majority leadership in Albany. We are out of time to act on climate, and they continue to listen to special interests (who throw them scraps like plastic polluter Pepsi’s campaign donations to Heastie) rather than their constituents.

👀Thousands of New Yorkers are waiting and watching to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will actually bring @deborahjglick.bsky.social critical Packaging Reduction Act A1749 to the floor in time to vote on it before the session ends tonight. ⌛Speaker Heastie, put #peopleoverplastic NOW!

Let’s do this New York! #peopleoverplastic

Please call Speaker Heastie right now and leave a message asking him to bring Bill A7738 to the floor for a vote! (518) 455-3791 Thank you! 🌱

Winderful news!

“More than one-third of plastic produced today is for packaging, including single-use items like food containers that largely end up as waste.” It’s time for legislation to reduce the production of nonessential plastic. #PRRIA @beyondplastics.bsky.social

NEWS: Because we fought for it, Trump just finally lifted his stop-work order for Equinor’s Empire Wind off Long Island. Many thousands of good-paying jobs Billions of dollars already invested Clean and affordable power for Long Island homeowners and businesses

“The American Chemistry Council, which represents major corporations like DuPont, Exxon, and 3m, poured $250,000 into the reelection campaigns of lawmakers across the state” including Senator Monica Martinez who voted against the Packaging Reduction bill last year.

BREAKING: The EPA says it will reverse most of the drinking water standards aimed at protecting people from toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS. Even low levels of the chemicals known as PFAS are linked with cancer and other health problems. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

It’s time for a dime! Let’s pass the Bigger Better Bottle Bill to expand deposits on more beverage containers, raise the deposit to 10 cents, improve recycling rates, and reduce pollution ♻️
