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 @PlasticsBeyond

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) https://t.co/0EAZXA7oWl via @gothamist

Starting Sunday, curbside composting will roll out in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, following successful launches in Queens and Brooklyn.

.@BrianLehrer 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

From @NYCMayor 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 @NYSA_Majority members from National Fuel Gas' wrath.

WASS sent a memo of support this week for the #NYHEAT Act to the @NYSA_Majority and @GovKathyHochul. The NY HEAT Act means cleaner heat and lower bills and a brighter future. NY HEAT must pass this session!
