Good news: The New York State Senate has struck a blow against plastic pollution, approving legislation that would slash single-use packaging and ban the most toxic chemicals from packaging.
Now it’s time for the Assembly to stand up to the plastics lobby and pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act.
This legislation is a win-win for New Yorkers, making polluters responsible for the waste they produce, while providing a boost to recycling and reducing the hundreds of millions of dollars we pay for trash disposal.
Tell your assembly member: Put New Yorkers over the plastics lobby. Pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act!
