Burning trash, including plastic, should not be counted as recycling. The practice of incinerating waste pollutes the environment and harms public health by converting waste into harmful air emissions and toxic ash. #caleg please pass #AB1857 by Cristina Garcia to #StopBurningTrashCA
#AB1857 would stop subsidizing the harmful practice of burning trash in #FrontlineCommunities . Ben Allen & Senator Lena Gonzalez we're counting on you to stand up for #EnvironmentalJustice and pass this important bill. #StopBurningTrashCA

(1/2) California's incinerators inundate nearby #EnvironmentalJustice communities with harmful emissions and produce thousands of tons of toxic ash every year. #AB1857 will make meaningful investments in CA’s #ZeroWaste economy. #StopBurningTrashCA
