It’s estimated that each year, Amazon uses enough plastic pillow packaging to encircle the planet 500 times. And that’s just one type of single-use plastic from one company. It’s time to move #BeyondPlastic.

[Florida PIRG @Florida_PIRG]

By one report, Amazon was responsible for 465 million pounds of plastic waste in 2019 alone. Join us in telling Amazon to move beyond plastic and eliminate unnecessary single-use plastic packaging. #BeyondPlastic

If farmers can't keep their tractors and combines running, what good are the computerized bells and whistles? Farmers need the #RightToRepair, and they need it now.

My latest for @WSJopinion.

More hurricanes make landfall in Florida than in any other state. We need to ensure that the toxic waste held at the 52 Superfund sites in Florida will be contained in a storm. Then we need to prioritize cleaning it up. #fundthesuperfund

Florida’s daily average cases peaked more than 5x higher than the daily average case rate in Italy in mid-March, when that country was the epicenter of the outbreak in Europe. It’s time to hit the reset button on our nation’s response to #COVID19. https://t.co/BdEYZnYdne

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

If we’re going to save lives and control the #coronavirus pandemic, decision makers need to hit the reset button and make the hard calls. More than 1,000 health professionals agree. https://t.co/sIo0G1ZGfb

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

Update: We’ve now reached more than 1,000 #healthprofessionals who have signed onto our open letter to America's decision makers, urging them to take bold action to save lives and hit the reset button on our nation’s #COVID19 response. https://t.co/sIo0G2hhDL

“It really all comes down to what policymakers decide now, and we’re urging them to take bold action to save lives.” @matthewwell on @MSNBC discussing the US's response to #COVID19. We need to shut it down, start over, and do it right. https://t.co/DWSKruGFPm

[Florida PIRG @Florida_PIRG]

Add your name to stand with the hundreds of health professionals who have joined us and our national network in calling for the country to hit the reset button in our response to #COVID19. We need to shut it down, start over, and do it right. https://t.co/m6yU5QgIjQ

"We’ve done it wrong, and we need to start over. Of all the nations in the world, we’ve had the most deaths from COVID-19." says @matthewwell, Director of our Public Health Campaigns. https://t.co/SlFYiktjDX

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

.@arimoin joined @GMA today to discuss our letter on behalf of health pros to America's decision makers. The message is clear-- shut it down, start over, and do it right. More than 650 health pros are now calling for bold action to save lives #covid19 https://t.co/YjPf392ffA

We need to call on our senators to support the Medical Supply Transparency and Delivery Act -- to protect healthcare workers so they can protect us. https://t.co/PIOhnWplEC

Confused why Bayer-Monsanto is still selling Roundup, even after agreeing to pay $10 billion to settle just a fraction of the tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging the product causes cancer? We break it down. #BanRoundup https://t.co/EBh8b383ic

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

Stories from the front lines of #COVID19. As states reopen, cases could rise, and we need to protect health workers now. #GetThemPPE

[Florida PIRG @Florida_PIRG]

Nancy Beck’s career has been focused on blocking or weakening health & safety protections for toxic chemicals by overstating uncertainty, downplaying data accepted by mainstream science & excluding evidence. That’s not the resume we need for the chair of the @USCPSC.
#BadNewsBeck

[Florida PIRG @Florida_PIRG]

Nancy Beck, nominated to chair @USCPSC, the agency tasked with protecting consumers, is great news for big industry, & bad news for everyone else.
That’s why we joined @uspirg and 62 other consumer & environmental groups to oppose #BadNewsBeck
