@RibGoneRogue @Angry_Staffer No, they haven’t. There are still many public servants working at federal agencies who care about making government work for the people of this country.

“The sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us.”

Joe Biden has stayed true to these words again and again over a lifetime of service to the American people. Thank you, @POTUS.

The U.S. says climate change is helping Russia and China boost activity in the Arctic. Moscow and Beijing insist there's no cause for alarm. https://t.co/FLjtFhm051

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

[Jennifer Congdon @SurfingChef13]

@CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins this is what single use plastic reduction looks like. A reusable and recyclable aluminum cup instead of plastic. Pass A.5322b/S.4246b this session with 50% plastic packaging reduction @PlasticsBeyond

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

Let's cut packaging by 50% in New York and set a precedent for other states to follow. We're calling on the New York state legislature to be on the right side of history. Read the full @nytimes @HilaryNYC story: https://t.co/641C0QR8H6

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

.@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins 32 municipalities, including @nycgov, want you to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act with the inclusion of 50% reduction in packaging over 12 years THIS SESSION. They're waiting - please get the job done!

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

@CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins this is what a 50% reduction in plastic packaging looks like (it's NOT rocket science🚀.) Please put #peopleoverplastic and PASS the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act THIS SESSION 🗳️without watering down the critical 50% reduction requirement.✅

The NY Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A5322b/S4246b) would ban 19 of the most toxic chemicals and substances currently used in packaging, including lead, PFAS, formaldehyde, phthalates, cadmium & bisphenols. But time is running out to pass it! Call today: https://t.co/guvGXwPQCN

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

There are 16,000 chemicals used in plastics. Of those, 26% are considered "of concern" (aka hazardous), 62.4% THAT WE HAVE NO SAFETY DATA ON(!), & the remaining 11.3% are not considered problematic. We need to get toxic chemicals out of plastic & stop making so much plastic. NOW!
