Most of us have a bag of used batteries in our junk drawer that we swear we’ll properly discard at some point. But we lack a straightforward, simple disposal option. That’s why @ASM_Irwin & I proposed the Responsible Battery Recycling Act. #AB2440#SB1215

@JoshNewmanCA & @ASM_Irwin celebrated #NationalBatteryDay by introducing SB 1215 & AB 2440! CA's waste stream needs a better system to collect batteries that takes the financial burden off ratepayers & protects workers/communities from fires🔋♻️//🙅♀️🔥 #ResponsibleBatteryRecycling
More action from @californiapuc promoting #buildingelectrification. Proposed decision allocates $80M incentives for hot water heat pumps. 50% of funding for low income customers & strong focus on reducing peak load. https://t.co/4MhGl7FUkj
Today's the day! Asm. Ting introduced AB 1817 to ban harmful PFAS chemicals from clothes and textiles. Excited to work with @PhilTing@BCPPartners@NRDC@cleanh2oca on this critical issue this year.

The Governor’s budget does something very important: It includes climate change in all our policy areas. He proposes climate investments in #transportation, #education, workforce, #health and #housing.
That’s what we have to do fix our climate situation: It’s go big, or no home.
What’s spooky about Rice Krispies Treats? They contain the food additive BHT, which can cause developmental and reproductive harm! For a #HealthierHalloween, tell the FDA to stop allowing toxic chemicals in our Halloween food! #ToxicFreeFoodFDA
New 🗞from @NPR and @jeffbradynews — why we can’t wait any longer to talk about your gas stove. Why does @RockyMtnInst care about stoves? Yes, for climate but also for your health. Climate orgs can & should care about both. https://t.co/5678Sy9JRz
UPDATE: The Gov signed my #PFAS bills, #AB1200 & #AB1201, keeping “forever chemicals” out of our food packaging & compost. Cookware manufacturers will also have to disclose if these harmful substances are in their products. A win for our health & enviro! https://t.co/ZlzGwKpal5
We’re in the last stretch of making these bills into law!
We need YOUR support in urging @gavinnewsom@cagovernor to sign these bills into law!

Thank you @CAgovernor & @CalEnergy for adopting California’s new building code, a landmark step in the transition off of fossil fuels in new homes and buildings. ⚡🏘 Next step, heat pumps for everyone!
🌎🎉The California State Assembly took another step to protect communities from toxic, “forever” PFAS chemicals by passing #AB1200 today - helping to make our food and environment safer. #EarthDay2021 https://t.co/mrC5tK1SRV
Ever keep a box in your closet as a mini retirement home for old electronics and batteries? Waited for someone else to toss your used batteries so that you aren’t guilty?
Let’s end that. #SB289 requires battery collection bins at retail stores across CA. A win for you & our 🌎.
Enjoying an ELECTRIFYING ⚡️🏢⚡️🏡 @CalEnergy AB 3232 workshop. Today’s a momentous day for @panamaredhat – he finally fulfilled his dream of wearing jorts while presenting for the CEC. Thanks everyone on the first panel for all your hard work decarbonizing the building sector!

“This is the great irony—the world will breathe better but wake up to an even bigger garbage crisis.”
Many recyclers are closed d/t safety concerns. We all need to reduce our consumption of single-use items. Think twice before using that plastic fork 😇

The EPA’s decision to stop enforcing climate protections during this pandemic is shameful.
There is no excuse for prioritizing corporate polluters over public health.
Today we urged the agency to shift course. https://t.co/el82AZtJH3
