🔔 Scientists continue to sound the alarm and declare that the world needs a strong #PlasticsTreaty that protects human health.⁠ Contact your government in support of a strong Plastics Treaty. 👉🏼 www.breakfreefromplastic.org/plastics-tre... #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Have you ever looked at plastic filled grocery aisles and realized that plastics are plan B for the fossil fuel industry? #PlasticPollutes

Btw, @calrecycle.bsky.social still has not sent out non-compliance letters to foam polluters in CA! 100s of millions of dollars in violation fines NOT collected. Our tax dollars at work! 😣 We must strongly enforce the laws taxpayers are paying for! #foamban #plasticpollutes #plastickills #

The evidence is clear - we eat and breathe plastic every day. When will we say we've had enough & push our electeds & businesses for real change? That includes making changes ourselves - accept that plastic is NOT and will NEVER be a "circular" solution...recycling is a lie. lnkd.in/g8bjwP78

Hey Blueskyers! I know we all have a lot going on, but I would really appreciate you sharing this post; it's a project I have been leading for months. It should NOT be this difficult to get an environmental law enforced in California, yet here we are. Thanks for sharing!!

Waiting to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will put people over plastic next week or not. Sure hope he does not side with the plastics and chemical industry.

Big corporations want lawmakers to protect their profits over your health. Whose side is your Assemblymember on: the chemical industry or children and families? Tell your Assemblymember to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act! 📲Call now: bit.ly/people-over-...

Attention all New Yorkers! Plastic packaging has truly caused a wasteful, toxic "tsunami" and reduction is critical. Here's your chance to have impact - urge your electeds to pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act @beyondplastics.bsky.social

Tomorrow is the shareholder meeting at Home Depot! Time for them to be a leader and ✋ using TOXIC polyvinyl chloride!! #pvc #plastic

The consequences from plastic waste impacts us all, even our unborn babies. The time is NOW to 🛑 using unnecessary single use plastic and demand our electeds create and pass laws to remove toxic chemicals AND reduce single use plastic packaging and food service products!

Americans are more pro-choice than people think. Two studies show that both elected leaders and voters overestimate Americans' conservatism on abortion. New from me @goodauth.bsky.social. goodauthority.org/news/the-chr...

This, by @tesler.bsky.social, is looking more prescient everyday. goodauthority.org/news/why-dem...

my god i'm hard to shock but holy fuck

My brilliant colleague Melissa is quoted multiple times in this impactful CNN article focused on reducing plastic waste! ☺️

Foam was banned in the state of CA in January; but it is NOT being enforced. I worked with the LA Times to expose the violators. Why isn't our state agency, CalRecycle, enforcing this ban?!

And thank you @schiff.senate.gov for not caving to the CR last week!

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service. Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class. We cannot let it happen.

Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney 🇨🇦 just told Trump we’re cutting ties with America in favour of real partners. #cdnpoli

Yet another example that this administration doesn't give a shit about people. E.P.A. Plans to Close All Environmental Justice Offices www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

Thank you Rep William Keating from MA for standing up for respect and common decency! I stand with Rep Keating and Rep McBride. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

Have y'all see this? It's hard to believe. Mahmoud Khalil is now being held at ICE in Louisiana. Trump trying to deport him...he's here legally! www.npr.org/2025/03/10/n...

Hi everyone, here are three special elections coming up!

Every single trade provision Trump is now whining about with Mexico and Canada is a trade provision HE HIMSELF negotiated in the USMCA in 2018

We owe our children a better world. Trump and his cult cannot get away with this. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/c...

"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."

AB 473 is bad, very bad. I think it's fair to say consumers are fed up with lying recycling labels. This bill does nothing but undermine California's goal of reducing toxic plastic pollution. Kill the bill!

#California doesn't want more greenwashing! The state legislature must vote no on AB 473, which would gut California's existing Truth in Labeling law by allowing false recyclability claims to be applied to all plastic items.

Don't mess with Canada! I don't blame them one bit

Ted Koppel to Sean Hannity - you are bad for America. Because "you have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts".😞 www.instagram.com/reel/DGRB7TG...

Yes we can! I'm fired up, how about you?

Get ready CA 40! Young Kim...here we come! Join @indivisibleca40.bsky.social for more info!

Chris Kluwe used his first amendment rights to make comments at a recent HB city council meeting. MAGA republicans made sure he was fired from his job as a coach. In addition to calls, consider attending the Mar 4 HB council meeting and Mar 11 HB school district board meeting. Both start at 6pm!

Thanks to CBS KCAL's Ross Palombo for the Starbucks news update last night. Stores within 14 states ditching polluting plastic is a great start! Now customers need to adjust to getting their cold drinks in opaque cups. Wanna SEE your drink or pollute LESS? www.instagram.com/reel/DGPRi4X...

Thank you @still-leslie.bsky.social! Starbucks serves more than 5M drinks daily in plastic cups creating massive amounts of waste, ugh! The CBS investigation I was part of last December had impact; Starbucks announced they are PHASING OUT plastic cups for cold drinks!! search.app/jVmrDWk94VVv...

Crisis indeed. We must stay vigilant to avoid dystopia!

Exporting waste is NOT recycling! It's waste imperialism! And plastic is an extra special, toxic material that the US exports regularly. Why? Because we deceive consumers with the ♻️ label, so recycling bins are chock full of the stuff...most of which gets exported! 😡 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

Lots of people asking me what I think of Trump's executive plastic straw order. I think it's a red herring. The wasteful straw is just a small piece of the massive plastic pollution problem; consider cups, lids, plates, cutlery etc. Single use plastics are NOT recycled & must be phased out!

Wow

Today, Oceana released a new, nationwide plastics poll. An overwhelming majority of US voters are united around plastic & support policies that reduce single-use plastics & plastic production. Lawmakers must take action! Plastic is harming our health, oceans & communities. And no, ♻️ does not work!

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Well this is exciting! ☺️ I'm thrilled to announce I am working alongside the terrific team @beyondplastics.bsky.social My focus? Doing everything to reduce the ubiquitous reliance on single-use plastic, and pollution, in my beautiful state of California. I'm building a SoCal alliance! Who's in?

I picked up a single pill today. Of course it was in a non-recyclable plastic bottle, inside a non-recyclable coated bag accompanied by a non-recyclable coated receipt. It's all SO wasteful; our pharmacies must do better! 😩 When I travel outside the US, I get a simple, paper box. #stopplasticwaste

Sick of toxic, polluting plastic? Me too!! Join me, and thousands of other like minded activists fighting for change at this fabulously fun gala on March 4! @still-leslie.bsky.social
