"The largest contributor was Coca-Cola, which accounted for 11% of the branded #PlasticPollution worldwide...there was a direct relationship between a company’s production of plastic and the amount of branded plastic waste found in the environment." #CALeg needs to pass #AB2648

"The underlying reason why the U.S. is not ambitious [to end #PlasticPollution] is we are a fossil gas country,' Senator Jeff Merkley said. ExxonMobil is increasing plastic production." #GlobalPlasticsTreaty Jennifer McDermott apnews.com/article/plasti…

Bobbi Jo Chavarria, Senior Field Organizer at Sierra Club: “What happens in Los Angeles doesn't just stay in Los Angeles: The pollution from LA's ports, compounded by the goods movement of trucks and rail, reaches far beyond the City limits.”

We are celebrating the expansion of the San Gabriel Mountains and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments. Thank you President Donald J. Trump for listening to Tribes, Indigenous leaders, elected officials, and communities & protecting these lands! #SanGabrielMountainsForever #MolukLuyuk

"Coca-Cola was identified as the source of 11% of all branded plastic found. It was followed by PepsiCo (5%), Nestlé (3%), Danone (3%)...this type of data from #litter audits is poised to be influential going forward in legal and policy settings." wastedive.com/news/plastic-p…

Make your voice heard & urge committee members of the Assembly Public Employment and Retirement Committee (PERS) to vote YES on #SB252. The bill requires CalPERS and CalSTRS to divest over $14 billion from fossil fuel companies. Take action: fossilfreeca.org/email

"In addition, a measure calling for Exxon to report on #plastic production won about 21% support, down from 25% last year. The aforementioned social impact report won backing from 7% of votes cast, down from 17% last year" CalPERS CalSTRS #divest #SB252 reuters.com/markets/commod…

"as long as I’m in the Senate, I’m going to keep bringing this [#divestment] bill up. So I’m going to be a thorn in everyone’s side until then... divesting insurance companies from #FossilFuels? Absolutely." @SenGonzalez33 #SB252 #CALeg Blanca Begert politico.com/newsletters/ca…

Californians Against Waste "Very little #plastic gets usefully recycled, and there are downsides to reusing the stuff: Studies have shown that reuse and recycling can release more hazardous chemicals." Please call Ben Allen at 916.651.4024, urge him to vote YES on #AB2761 #CALeg sierraclub.org/sierra/your-pl…

"#SB1231 would create a new process for producers to petition CalRecycle to assess whether their packaging meets state #recyclability standards...create 'a huge new loophole' for the #plastics industry to petition CalRecycle for an exception." #CALeg packagingdive.com/news/californi…

"I echo @SenGonzalez33: #divestment is a necessary climate action with good economic sense. It bothers me that my money is used to support environmental injustice. CalPERS, don’t use my pension to support #BigOil and #BigPlastic." YES to #SB252 #CALeg angeles.sierraclub.org/news_politics/…

"In a state whose leaders speak with urgency about fighting #ClimateChange, it’s shameful and hypocritical that CalPERS and CalSTRS have billions of dollars in public employees’ retirement money invested in planet-wrecking #FossilFuel companies" #SB252 @SenGonzalez_33 #CALeg

"Cities are replacing real grass with synthetic grass made of #plastic, claiming to...cut costs. But the true cost is our children’s health as the heat of the sun and friction of running and playing release #microplastics to be inhaled." City of Newport Beach angeles.sierraclub.org/news/blog/2024…

"Having made such public comments numerous times over the years, this month, City of Laguna Beach included a mandate in the draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan: 'large events permitted by the City must be #ZeroWaste.'” angeles.sierraclub.org/news/blog/2024…

"athletes have called on beverage giants Coca-Cola and @Pepsi to stop selling #SingleUsePlastic bottles and promote #reusable products when they sponsor sports events. The push comes ahead of the 2024 Paris 올림픽 and Paralympic games" Marianne Gros politico.eu/article/olympi…
