Now is the time! Our NYS Assembly must find the moral courage to Pass PRRIA.

[Eve Fox @evefox]

So excited to hear this from @jgpretlow as I'm one of tens of thousands of the NYers who are urging @BPHACaucus @NYSA_Majority to PASS PRRIA (A1749-a) by 6/4 to protect environmental justice communities, health, save taxpayer $s, cut waste, & meet NY's climate goals.

Starbucks claims its single-use plastic cups (made of No. 5 polypropylene plastic) are now "widely recyclable." ♻️🥤 But are they❓

Legislature: Defend NY's Landmark Climate Law https://t.co/RwAOgoLsWD

[Bloomberg @business]

Costs to build natural gas-fired power plants in the US increased 66% between 2023 and 2025 as developers propose building more projects nationwide to meet rising electricity demand. https://t.co/QXvZkF3OSg

The paper receipt you're handed at checkout is messing with your endocrine system.

BPA, or bisphenol A, is the chemical that makes thermal paper turn dark when heat is applied. It's what makes receipts work.

It's also an endocrine disruptor linked to hormonal disruption, cardiovascular disease, and developmental problems in children.

Unlike BPA in plastic bottles, which requires the chemical to leach through a container into liquid, receipt paper absorbs directly through your skin.

Studies have found that handling a receipt for as little as five seconds transfers measurable BPA onto your fingers.

Handling it after using hand sanitizer increases absorption by up to tenfold because sanitizer opens your skin's pores.

Cashiers who handle receipts all day have significantly elevated BPA levels in their blood compared to the general population.

Go paperless on receipts wherever you can. When you can't, decline them.

If you have to take one, wash your hands before eating. It's a small thing with a surprisingly direct exposure pathway.

Energy efficiency = Saving Money

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

@SecretaryBurgum @POTUS All you are doing is saddling Americans with higher annual energy bills because fewer standards reduces efficiency, raising energy use thus, total energy bills.

As your constituent @RepLauraGillen I know you know you have very little time to turn 180 degrees on your very unfortunate ICE position. Do better!

[Mitch Jones @GreenMitchJones]

Data centers are driving up electricity prices, sucking up water, taking up farm land, and AI is being used for harmful deepfake videos. We need a nationwide halt to new data centers until we can determine if the industry can be safely regulated.

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.

Just got back from watching Earth's Greatest Enemy by @AbbyMartin @EmpireFiles on the largest polluter, the US military. Couldn't be any more timely with the naked imperialism of Gaza, Venezuela, Iran and Greenland - must watch!

Here's a short article from the Organic Council "Why Birds Thrive on Organic Farms". It's all about creating and preserving habitat which is why we should support Organic Farmers as much as possible.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for signing S.8417/A.8888 into law! You made NYS proud by stopping the fossil fuel industry and gas utilities from building new, climate-wrecking fracked gas pipelines to the tune of $600 million a year on the taxpayer's dime.

[Renewable Heat Now @RenewablHeatNow]

VICTORY: @GovKathyHochul just signed a bill to repeal the 100-foot rule, putting NY on the path towards cleaner heat, lower bills, and reduced climate pollution! #cleanerheatlowerbills!

[Guy Jacob @GuyJacob24]

Don't let us down @GovKathyHochul !

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Sign the bill, @GovKathyHochul!
