Nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute our environment for hundreds of years. As of Jan 1, single-use plastic bags are no more. Learn more about how we worked with state leaders and environmental groups to finally win. https://t.co/Y5Rplcv9rQ

California electricity bills are some of the highest in the nation and a new proposal to increase utility profit rates could drive them even higher. Californians deserve fair energy bills. Tell @californiapuc to rein in excessive utility profits. https://t.co/zthPOcjk7H

Used in everything from makeup to non-stick pans, toxic PFAS chemicals are now found in the drinking water supply for 158 million Americans. Watch the recording of our webinar on how to keep PFAS out of your drinking water. https://t.co/trRPISgjqc

Our state director @JennEngstrom called the “end of 10” a “lose-lose-lose” situation. “It’s bad for consumers. It’s bad for security, and it’s bad for the environment." https://t.co/tyTFuZQdAo

Please put people ahead of #PFAS @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom. @andrewsimmern is right: we don’t need to poison our friends and neighbors to have non-stick pans.

PFAS chemicals are linked to cancer & developmental problems, yet are still used in many consumer products - risking our health and contaminating our drinking water. That's why Californians across the state want the #CAleg to vote YES on #SB682 to phase out toxic PFAS @BuffyWicks

📢ICYMI: This week, AB 1148, our co-sponsored bill to get toxic phthalates and bisphenols out of food and drink packaging, passed the Assembly. Thanks to @AsmLaShae for your leadership on this issue. Now to the Senate! @BCPPartners @EWG

"Plastic producers have pushed “advanced recycling”... despite knowing for years that it is not a technically or economically feasible solution." Let's not let false solutions distract from addressing the plastic waste crisis @CAgovernor @AGRobBonta https://t.co/wfFZXJXErO

10 trillion plastic pellets enter our oceans each year, causing harm to wildlife and ecosystems. Join @EnvAm, @uspirg, @5gyres, and @EnviroAction and Nurdle Patrol for the #InternationalPlasticPelletCount on May 3rd. Learn more at https://t.co/YE6nS5sMRc

Happy to report that #AB762 to ban disposable vapes passed the #CAleg Asm Environmental Safety Committee. Americans throw away 4.5 disposable vapes every second, adding to our electronic waste problem and putting us at risk of battery fires @ASM_Irwin @cawrecycles @RethinkWaste

[CALPIRG @CALPIRG]

Happy to report that #AB1148 to ban toxic food packaging passed the Asm Environmental Safety Committee. Thank you @AsmLaShae for your leadership. As you said, “Together we can create a safer, healthier California where the food we use everyday supports our wellbeing” @BCPPartners

[CALPIRG @CALPIRG]

Thank you @CalRecycle for publicly stating that California's foam foodware ban is in effect. Foam cups and containers create pollution in our environment and it's time to say goodbye! https://t.co/rBMb7xG8mY
