It's time for @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, NYS Assembly Majority, and BPHAC to pass the packaging reduction act to reduce waste AND combat climate change.

Opinion: New York is ready for single-use plastic waste reduction Cutting down on the production of single-use plastics will save taxpayer dollars, reduce pollution and protect our environment all at once.

Huge thank you to Assemblymember Harvey Epstein for urging state lawmakers to take bold action to meet NYS's climate goals. @climateweeknyc.bsky.social

@plasticpollutes.bsky.social's latest report reveals how the built environment is full of toxic plastic, making wildfires worse—and how there is opportunity to build back better, with sustainable materials.
