#PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Have you ever looked at plastic filled grocery aisles and realized that plastics are plan B for the fossil fuel industry? #PlasticPollutes

Btw, @calrecycle.bsky.social still has not sent out non-compliance letters to foam polluters in CA! 100s of millions of dollars in violation fines NOT collected. Our tax dollars at work! 😣 We must strongly enforce the laws taxpayers are paying for!

The evidence is clear - we eat and breathe plastic every day. When will we say we've had enough & push our electeds & businesses for real change? That includes making changes ourselves - accept that plastic is NOT and will NEVER be a "circular" solution...recycling is a lie.

Hey Blueskyers! I know we all have a lot going on, but I would really appreciate you sharing this post; it's a project I have been leading for months.

It should NOT be this difficult to get an environmental law enforced in California, yet here we are.

Thanks for sharing!!

Waiting to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will put people over plastic next week or not. Sure hope he does not side with the plastics and chemical industry.

Plastic is made with 16,000 chemicals, more than a quarter of which are known to be toxic to humans. Time to put people's health over plastic and chemical industry profits by passing the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act A1749 in the NYS Assembly. This critical legislation would ban the use of 17 of the most toxic chemicals in packaging, including lead, mercury, cadmium, PFAS chemicals, phthalates, bisphenols like BPA and BPS, furans, formaldehyde, halogenated flame retardants and more. Urge your NYS Assemblymember to vote YES on A1749 before the legislative session ends on June 17. Call now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Time is running out to put people over plastic in NYS. Call today to urge your NYS Assembly to urge them to vote YES on Assemblywoman's Glick's Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749) now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Big corporations want lawmakers to protect their profits over your health. Whose side is your Assemblymember on: the chemical industry or children and families? Tell your Assemblymember to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act! 📲Call now: bit.ly/people-over-...

Very disturbing. Why???@tulaneu.bsky.social

Attention all New Yorkers! Plastic packaging has truly caused a wasteful, toxic "tsunami" and reduction is critical. Here's your chance to have impact - urge your electeds to pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act @beyondplastics.bsky.social

Tomorrow is the shareholder meeting at Home Depot! Time for them to be a leader and ✋ using TOXIC polyvinyl chloride!!
#pvc #plastic

The consequences from plastic waste impacts us all, even our unborn babies.

The time is NOW to 🛑 using unnecessary single use plastic and demand our electeds create and pass laws to remove toxic chemicals AND reduce single use plastic packaging and food service products!

The chronic misperception of Americans’ abortion attitudes. Leaders and voters think Americans are more conservative than they are.

Americans are more pro-choice than people think.

Two studies show that both elected leaders and voters overestimate Americans' conservatism on abortion.

Why Democrats should keep talking about immigration Democrats can once again turn immigration into a losing issue for Trump.

This, by @tesler.bsky.social, is looking more prescient everyday.

my god i'm hard to shock but holy fuck

I got caught up in the mayhem on Monday. 7 hours of delays and I finally got on the last flight out.

My brilliant colleague Melissa is quoted multiple times in this impactful CNN article focused on reducing plastic waste! ☺️

Foam was banned in the state of CA in January; but it is NOT being enforced. I worked with the LA Times to expose the violators. Why isn't our state agency, CalRecycle, enforcing this ban?!

And thank you @schiff.senate.gov for not caving to the CR last week!

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service.

Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class.

We cannot let it happen.

Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney 🇨🇦 just told Trump we’re cutting ties with America in favour of real partners. #cdnpoli

E.P.A. Plans to Close All Environmental Justice Offices An internal memo directs the closure of offices designed to ease the heavy pollution faced by poor and minority communities.

Yet another example that this administration doesn't give a shit about people.

Republican Refers to Sarah McBride, Transgender Congress Member, as a Man Representative Keith Self of Texas insisted on calling Representative Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, “Mr. McBride,” and adjourned the session when challenged about it.

Thank you Rep William Keating from MA for standing up for respect and common decency! I stand with Rep Keating and Rep McBride.

Have y'all see this? It's hard to believe. Mahmoud Khalil is now being held at ICE in Louisiana. Trump trying to deport him...he's here legally!

Hi everyone, here are three special elections coming up!

Every single trade provision Trump is now whining about with Mexico and Canada is a trade provision HE HIMSELF negotiated in the USMCA in 2018

We owe our children a better world.
Trump and his cult cannot get away with this.

Beware Trump’s Talk of Coming “Emergencies” Far-right rhetoric is suffused with dark talk of impending calamities. It’s a favorite trope of autocrats who are, themselves, the calamity.

"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."
