.@CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins 32 municipalities, including City of New York, want you to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act with the inclusion of 50% reduction in packaging over 12 years THIS SESSION. They're waiting - please get the job done!

Let's cut packaging by 50% in New York and set a precedent for other states to follow. We're calling on the New York state legislature to be on the right side of history. Read the full The New York Times Hilary Howard story: shorturl.at/UEdNy

@CarlHeastie & Sen. Stewart-Cousins this is what a 50% reduction in plastic packaging looks like (it's NOT rocket science🚀.) Please put #peopleoverplastic and PASS the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act THIS SESSION 🗳️without watering down the critical 50% reduction

Packaging Reduction Act and Bigger Better Bottle Bill are in the final week of legislative session mix, according to Gothamist We urge @carlheastie and Sen. Stewart-Cousins to pass both! gothamist.com/news/ny-social…

We sent a memo of support for the #NYHEAT Act to the NY Assembly Majority and Governor Kathy Hochul. The NY HEAT Act means cleaner heat, cleaner air, lower bills, and a brighter future. NY HEAT must pass this session!

WASS sent a memo of support this week for the #NYHEAT Act to the NY Assembly Majority and Governor Kathy Hochul. The NY HEAT Act means cleaner heat and lower bills and a brighter future. NY HEAT must pass this session!

Listen to WASS founder Courtney Williams on The The Brian Lehrer Show and A Daily Politics Podcast Show! Tell Albany to support the #NYHEAT Act, the Plastic Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act, and the Bigger Better Bottle Bill! AndreaStewartCousins @CarlHeastie wnyc.org/story/climate-…

From Mayor Eric Adams to Comptroller, everyone concerned about affordability wants #NYHEAT. But @CarlHeastie couldn't care less about affordability; he's more interested in protecting a handful of WNY NY Assembly Majority members from National Fuel Gas' wrath.

.The Brian Lehrer Show and A Daily Politics Podcast q for Latimer- in Congress what will he do about expired Title V Air permits the EPA is allowing the NYSDEC to leave expired? Like Westchester County's trash incinerator in Peekskill that expired in 2021. Pollution is harming health of Westchester county residents

The Department of Environmental Facilities will be hosting another Compost Giveback event Sunday, October 6 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Croton Point Park. To register for the event and purchase a compost bin/rain barrel, visit ow.ly/l3Zx50TwbE4

Bravo to Marion County, Oregon for turning away from burning trash! We hope Westchester Gov can follow suit! wastedive.com/news/reworld-m… via Waste Dive

This is a shortsighted plan that will increase the use of incinerators for trash disposal, cementing pollution in our trash disposal plan. Governor Kathy Hochul reject these requests! #wastetoenergy riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com/2024/10/122499… via Suffolk Times

240+ orgs are joining together to demand Governor Kathy Hochul help New York households accelerate the transition to clean energy technology, which would improve air quality, lower bills, and reduce climate pollution. Read more: beepny.org #RenewableHeatNow #NYHEAT

Great to see this program is expanding, and it's very interesting to note there are penalties for apartment buildings that do not provide composting services for their residents (we hope the penalties are large enough to be a deterrent) gothamist.com/news/curbside-… via Gothamist

Rising salinity in the East of Hudson Watershed threatens the fragile drinking water resources for millions of NYers, including many in Putnam and N. Westchester. Today, I joined concerned officials in raising awareness of this issue.

Put #PeekskillOverPlastic and pass the PRRIA AND BBBB! PRRIA= Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act BBBB=Bigger Better Bottle Bill Both would dramatically cut down on the plastics that pollute the planet and harm our health. #PeopleOverPlastic Beyond Plastics

In Albany to put #PeopleOverPlastic with Assemblymember Glick and Beyond Plastics
