So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

@governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov approved a gas pipeline that was rejected 3X for environmental concerns. The pipeline will harm NY waters and marine life, cost over $2 billion, and add $100/yr to gas bills for LI & NYC residents. Increased GHG emissions come with hidden health and economic costs.

And then we have New York. @governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov betraying NY’s climate goals as they approve Trump’s fracked gas pipeline

Wins for renewable energy and climate!

My LTE in response to Newsday’s coverage on climate, energy and NY’s Climate Law. @governor.ny.gov needs to stand firm on NY’s climate goals and not tie our future to new, polluting, fossil fuel infrastructure 🏭 #nonewpipelines @nyserda.bsky.social @dec.ny.gov

Please read “Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World” by @katharinehayhoe.com Thinking of everyone in Jamaica and Haiti and hoping for their safety 🙏

BREAKING: New York is violating its flagship climate law, a judge ruled Friday. The Hochul administration now has until February 6 to issue major regulations to cap emissions. nysfocus.com/2025/10/24/n...

On October 18, millions of Americans will gather to say NO KINGS! As Trump wields government power to censor free speech, abduct immigrants, and threaten political opponents, October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful resistance in US history No Kings in Mineola: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

@governor.ny.gov ! Protect our horseshoe crabs! Join Ella McGrail, Save the Sound NY policy coordinator, and activist kHayl this Thursday for a webinar discussing how to communicate most effectively with your state representatives. savethesound-org.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Last month a federal court lifted the administration’s stop work order on Revolution Wind, an offshore wind farm that will begin delivering power to Connecticut next year. We must keep up momentum on this renewable energy source that will offer clean, reliable, and affordable power to our region.

Big oil and gas have seized the moment. By betting big on plastics, they’ve found a convenient lifeline to maintain profit margins as demand for fossil fuels declines. But plastic pollution costs Americans an estimated $249 billion annually in health-related expenses @beyondplastics.bsky.social

@leaderasc.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social 73% of New Yorkers support the Packaging Reduction and Recycling bill! Pass PRRIA! #peopleoverplastic

Rest in peace Jane Goodall ❤️

Two climate heroes on one of my favorite podcasts! ☀️

@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social ! We’re in Albany today to say it’s time to put #peopleoverplastic and pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act! @beyondplastics.bsky.social

Sorry if it hurts your feelings, but tech is competing for your electricity- and YOU will pay to subsidize them. Now that zealots stopped offshore wind and are blocking battery storage and new transmission, where will YOUR energy come from if they take yours? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/b...

So NO to the fracked gas pipeline!

“Plastics endangered people and the planet at every stage, the review said, from the extraction of the fossil fuels they were made from, to production, use and disposal. This results in air pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals and infiltration of the body with microplastics.”

Inspired and energized by an amazing panel of speakers at the @engagelongisland.bsky.social Climate Solutions event! Thank you Assemblywoman Kassay for advocating for the passage of the Packaging Reduction Act! It’s time to put #peopleoverplastic ! @beyondplastics.bsky.social

Plastic-Free July is a powerful reminder that single-use plastics fuel climate change, pollute oceans, and harm wildlife. Avoiding single-use plastics is the best way we can prevent ongoing waste.

Thank you for sharing @beyondplastics.bsky.social We need New York legislators to put people over plastic!

Great letter, @jenvogt.bsky.social We couldn't agree more and hope that @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social and his fellow NYSA members will finally act to put people over plastic when they reconvene in January.

My final word, for now, on the NYS Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. We’ll be back at it when the Legislature resumes session in January! 💚🌎💙 #peopleoverplastic #newsday @allourenergy.bsky.social @beyondplastics.bsky.social

Are the climate crisis & the lack of action by our leaders making you feel anxious? The best antidote is action. Get out into your community in person or online, meet like-minded people, and take action in whatever way that means for you! There’s a role for everyone in the climate movement.

Let Speaker Heastie know that he failed NYers and the environment by not allowing the Packaging Reduction bill to come to a vote this session 👇

Yet our democratic leaders @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov in New York State saw no reason to pass relevant climate legislation this session. #climatecrisis www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is an epic failure on the part of democrat majority leadership in Albany. We are out of time to act on climate, and they continue to listen to special interests (who throw them scraps like plastic polluter Pepsi’s campaign donations to Heastie) rather than their constituents.

👀Thousands of New Yorkers are waiting and watching to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will actually bring @deborahjglick.bsky.social critical Packaging Reduction Act A1749 to the floor in time to vote on it before the session ends tonight. ⌛Speaker Heastie, put #peopleoverplastic NOW!

Plastic production and plastic packaging waste is an environmental justice issue. Plastic production is expected to triple by 2060. NY Assembly, pass the Packaging Reduction Act to help address this health and environmental crisis.
