Sandra Pezqueda worked at @TerraneaResort in Southern California. After reporting sexual harassment, she was fired—but her courage launched a movement. I stand in solidarity with Sandra and everyone supporting the Terranea boycott, and you can too: https://t.co/JcuF06D9k9

Ride-share drivers are on strike TODAY! Respect Uber & Lyft drivers and don't cross their picket line. It's a beautiful day to ride your bike, take the bus, or carpool with friend. 🚌🚲 #UberLyftStrike #StrikeUberLyft #AppsOffMay8

Truth of the matter is, millions of metric tons of plastic enter our oceans every year—some of which will retain its original form for up to 400 years. Will you #WinForEarth to help clean up our seas and take better care of the ecosystems that depend on them? Tell us how 💙🌊.

This #WorkersMemorialDay2019 we need to end insecure workplaces that threaten the lives of workers!

The @LongBeachPost made an incredible interactive map on how climate change endangers Long Beach communities. We are past the time of caring about the climate to save our communities - the time of action has already begun, & we are behind. https://t.co/fLohmWRAln

Happy Earth Day! Plastic waste is killing our planet - check out this artist's sculptures that make you aware of how much waste pollutes our environment every day. Be aware of what you're wasting, and remember to recycle! https://t.co/Ym8IG7SaVA

While scientists are working on evolving a plastic-eating bacteria, we need to work on cutting down on the plastic we use today so that the pile does not grow tomorrow. https://t.co/WH8JJUO1V0

There are many reasons why Long Beach needs to become a zero waste city, and the hazards of plastic waste is a big one. #zerowaste https://t.co/eX9DijH5Ko

There is a lot of plastic on our planet, and innovation is integral to the recycling industry. The more ways we find to recycle, the more abundant our resources are. https://t.co/lbuzY5eChi

Aldi is tackling the recycling problem at its source - they are putting labels on all their products to educate customers on how to recycle all of their products. Knowing what and how to recycle is integral to reducing waste. https://t.co/epa4fGL1yy

There are ways to improve our recycling, and it is integral that all aspects of the market - from company to consumer - are committed to improve. https://t.co/Y3Ym9vRMh4

This week is the 51st anniversary of MLK's death. "King did not die in vain...the country has seen its first African-American president and a new generation continues to be inspired by his message." - @EBONYMag https://t.co/9KzZD85Zrn

Single-use plastic bags will now be banned in New York - a win for our environment! From @jessemckinley at the @nytimes https://t.co/msuQaSkcGb

Some recycling programs are stepping up their efforts to decrease contamination by educating residents about the recycling process. The emphasis on outreach suggests a heavier onus on citizens to start disposing of items in a more informed, deliberate way. https://t.co/0sQPtpvW4u

Great @voxdotcom interview with Kate O’Neill, professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC Berkeley. She discusses the impact of China no longer buying recyclables from the U.S., and what it could mean for everyday consumers. https://t.co/wzJureQdru

It's important to know what you can and can't recycle - mixed materials can contaminate recyclable goods, making them worthless. https://t.co/qBe7EJqrTH

Our communities deserve to be clean and free of pollution. #DontWasteLB

[Don't Waste LB @DontWasteLB]

A young woman in the Bahamas organized a summer camp that inspired kids to lobby for a ban on single use plastic. When communities fight together to keep their neighborhoods clean, they win! https://t.co/q9g74PXKYf

Throwing contaminated containers into your recycling bin only furthers plastic pollution. Washing your plastic before it goes in the blue bin is integral for the safety of our communities. https://t.co/RHsEh6pSQv
