Lobbyist claims that New York anti-plastic bill would harm people of color called ‘misleading’ Bill that aims to reduce plastic packaging by 30% in 12 years faces staunch opposition by some business interests

"The efforts to kill the plastic legislation are “plainly racist”, said state assembly member Claire Valdez... 'These companies just want to be able to continue pushing their product on exploited and under-resourced communities without consequence.'”

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.

We're alarmed & deeply disturbed to learn that @tulaneu.bsky.social is silencing Dr. Kim Terrell. We stand with Dr. Terrell and call on Pres. Fitts protect the critical work of the Environmental Law Clinic rather than trading quid pro quos for development projects. #CancerAlley #environmentaljustice

Well said in today's Daily News LTE from North Babylon:
"There are key environmental bills stuck in the Assembly that Speaker Carl Heastie must act on....We need the NY HEAT Act to lower our gas bills and clean our air…..It’s critical that we limit plastic packaging..." (Packaging Reduction A1749)

The Bottle Bill is the most effective recycling system in the state...and canners have never had a raise in all 42 years since the bill was first enacted, and redemption centers have not had a raise in the handling fee that we depend on since 2009!

Singer Adam Met of AJR promotes collective action in a new book, Amplify. This week, he used NY's Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act, now before the Assembly, as an example of important needed change, and 350NYC as a way for people to get involved.
