With
the federal government about to radically change, there is a sense that
less advocacy is at play… to say the least. But we can fight for
issues affecting our State of New York. We’ve got a government here not
run by Trump and we have environmental issues, social justice concerns
and immigrants to fight for.
The New York Packaging and Recycling Infrastructure Act (S2426-b and A5322-b) is a bill that requires companies to pay for recycling their own packaging waste instead of us taxpayers holding the bag, so to say! It would also end the use of toxic chemicals in packaging. This is an environmentally significant action to take on.
Please call Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (518-455-3791) to enact it. It’s time companies took responsibility, not just profits.
