Today is the day the wealthiest Americans hit the payroll tax cap and stop paying into Social Security. As Republicans plan to cut, privatize, and even end #SocialSecurity, let’s sunset the cap, not benefits. #ScrapTheCap

Another easy appliance to electrify is your stove! 🍳

Wondering what type of stove to buy?

With an efficiency level three times that of gas stoves, induction stovetops are the most environmentally friendly and health-protective stove type on the market. (1/3)

Yeah so this is terrifying, I get why the ski resorts in New England overwhelmingly decided to shut down today

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

Dangerous cold weather is moving across New York and New England this week, with wind chills dropping to 50 degrees below zero.

Officials warn the frigid temperatures can cause frostbite in as little as five or 10 minutes. https://t.co/IqmUnvAnDf

[Rewiring America @rewiringamerica]

As subzero temperatures approached, the Rea family turned on their new heat pump. Outside, it was -18 F. But inside, “You wouldn't have noticed anything if you stayed in the house.”

Heat pumps work, friends. From @ByMarkJaffe for @ColoradoSun: https://t.co/gHuDx4AwMk

[Citizens Campaign for the Environment @citizensenviro]

Lots of exciting enviro funding in @GovKathyHochul NYS budget. $400 M EPF, $500 M Clean Water Infrastructure funding, $60 M to clean up toxic PFAS, and commitment to reduce waste in the Waste Reduction & Recycling Act. Pushing to ensure they make the final budget.

Plastic ♻️ operations have terrible health impacts on workers & communities. PFAS & microplastics are discharged in wastewater which becomes someone else’s drinking water

No one will run PET thermoform ♻️ in US because our env & safety laws are too strong
