Covering up a crime.

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!

Let’s do this New York! #peopleoverplastic
