"We need the state Assembly and @angelosantabarbara.bsky.social to support the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749A) this year. This bill is essential in reducing single-use plastic packaging, an excessive amount of plastic waste that is created every day.

"The best part is [The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act] is projected to save NYS 1.3 BILLION dollars in the first ten years, 103 million of which will be here in the Hudson Valley!

"The recycling center in the town of New Lebanon recently closed due to cuts in the county budget. This will almost certainly sharply decrease the recycling that residents will do, since the alternative county transfer stations are all at some distance from our town.

Thank you to New York State Senators Harckam and Bottcher, and Assemblymembers Lee, Simon, and Gallagher for your commitment to reducing single-use packaging and banning toxic chemicals. Let's get this over the finish line! Call (844) 311-4414 to be connected directly to your Assemblymember

Your calls today are critical. Call 844-311-4414 right now to be connected directly to your Assemblymember's office and let them know that our bodies and planet are not disposable. We need them to vote YES on the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act, bill A1749-A
