High five! @GavinNewsom THANK YOU for signing waste REDUCTION bill #AB1276 into law to #SkipTheStuff because #ReuseWins and #CAMustLead towards a #CircularEconomy! Even the seals are celebrating! @wendycarrillo #breakfreefromplastic. #CALeg @cawrecycles

[Santa Barbara Channelkeeper @SBChannelkeeper]

Great news! 👏 For the first time in history, the City of Ventura recently shut off pumps at its well field at Foster Park, to restore flows to the parched Ventura River ecosystem. Read more about Channelkeeper's efforts to support the river's health here: https://t.co/GiKbcfLRw5

In an effort to elevate our community’s awareness of the global #PlasticPollution problem, we’ve assembled 7 films to elevate our community’s awareness & inspire local action. Stream them, discuss them & join us in the fight against plastic pollution https://t.co/RS5YV08usA

📝#AB1276 by @AsmCarrillo builds on CA's landmark “plastic straws upon request” law 🥤to include other single-use food accessories 🍽️ like forks, spoons, stirrers, napkins and more - and expands the law to delivery services.

From production, to distribution, to waste, the #PlasticProblem requires systemic change.

Check out @storyofstuff's video on the story of #plastic & solutions like phasing out #SingleUsePlastics, ending harmful #FossilFuelSubsidies & #Accountability

The Water Boards' job is to protect & restore #cawater quality, not to protect commercial interests. Though on California's Central Coast, regulators say harmful farming practices should continue, allowing degradation of our coast, health, & environment: https://t.co/kgipDir5Kp.

Too many families already lack access to reliable & safe drinking water – and ongoing pollution only deepens this divide. @AsmBillQuirk, @AsmMuratsuchi, @drarambulaAD31, @AsmGarcia, @BauerKahan, @ChrisHoldenNews will you support clean #cawater w/ #AB377, the #CACleanWaterAct?

[Santa Barbara Channelkeeper @SBChannelkeeper]

[Oniracom @Oniracom]

Our team recently completed another beach cleanup in partnership with @SBChannelkeeper! We're grateful for their guidance in safely #volunteering & appreciated the opportunity to bond as a #team, keep our beaches clean, & further support this incredible organization. #oniracom

[Santa Barbara Channelkeeper @SBChannelkeeper]

"But what if we invoked the opposite, what if we as a civilization normalized the act of keeping our environment clean by picking up after others – and inspired progressive climate legislation through this simple action?" #WatershedBrigade @Treehugger

[Sean Bothwell @bothwell_ca]

Everyone deserves clean water - not just the wealthy! That is why we introduced #AB377 - the #CACleanWaterAct - so that all Californians can have access to drinkable water, clean swimming holes, and fish that's safe to eat. We demand clean water in our lifetime!

[Blue Biz Council @BlueBizCouncil]

Millions of people visit CA's coast & beaches each year - but also risk getting sick from trash & other pollution that wash into the ocean. #AB377 will keep CA's waters healthy & tourist destinations safe to enjoy: https://t.co/LUH1Yf7Ycy. #CACleanWaterAct @AsmRobertRivas

[Santa Barbara Channelkeeper @SBChannelkeeper]

We’re urging world leaders to do everything in their power to adopt an international target fully protecting at least 30 percent of the global ocean by 2030, & strengthening conservation of the remaining 70 %
