“In Florida, we don’t take this lightly; communities have endured environmental, social, and economic impacts because these disasters continue to occur.” Read more of my op-ed in @TB_Times. https://t.co/3gC6LrZy94 @StudentPIRGs

"A free market cannot exist when consumers don’t have the choice to repair or replace an item that they purchase" Thank you @AGRobBonta for supporting #RightToRepair. Now let's pass #SB244 so CA consumers can fix our stuff @SenSusanEggman https://t.co/rxdpsJUaTK

On World Water Day, it’s important to highlight the lack of safe drinking water around the world and the connection to climate change & pollution. “‘It is a human right to have access to free and clean water, but it's also a right to live in a world free from plastic pollution.’”

[Plastic Pollutes @PlasticPollutes]

"In addition to concerns over poor access to clean drinking water, rising bottled water consumption also threatens the environment, ranging from concerns that corporations are depleting groundwater to plastic pollution."—@Reuters #PlasticPollutes https://t.co/VGmQk5fNDi

Last fall, 61 professors @UCF chose #OpenTextbooks and collectively saved their students ***more than $1.4 million 💵***

Props to @FLOPIRGStudents & @WikiKnights_ucf for continuing to work w/stakeholders to make higher education more accessible 🦾

Happy #OpenEducationWeek! Here's how my Affordable College Textbook Act will make higher education more affordable & accessible:
📌 Removes barriers to free, online textbooks
📌 Helps students save money
📌 Makes higher education more inclusive

Today @CALPIRG released a new report that found less than 50% of @WholeFoods brand products are available without plastic packaging. To solve our plastic waste crisis we need companies like Whole Foods to step it up and use less plastic #PlasticFreeWholeFoods

Big thank you to the office of @DorisMatsui for meeting with @CALPIRGStudent today to discuss issues important to young people! We have talked to tens of thousands of students at the UCs who are passionate about ocean conservation, and we are excited to see it as a priority! 🌊

70+ meetings with over 40 students later, we’ve wrapped up the @StudentPIRGs Lobby Day! Always so inspired by the students I get to work with :) #CampusToCapitol

Attention needs to be given to waste pickers, ensuring that, like any other profession, they have access to environmental and social justice.

White House and Department of Education meetings to talk about issues students care about?? @StudentPIRGs allows students to do pretty cool work on our campuses and at the capitol! #CampustoCapitol

Happy to Report that the @StudentPIRGs team has been identified as some of the best recyclers and composers while staying at @FriendsPlaceDC! Would expect nothing less from this group as we work to pass the #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act lol

[NJPIRG Students @NJPIRGStudents]

Check out our Newark Chapter Vice Chair Julie at the @usedgov! We know students are forced to spend way too much on necessary textbooks. That’s why we’re working to pass the Affordable Textbook Act to get funding for Open Educational Resources! #TextbookBroke

[Plastic Pollutes @PlasticPollutes]

We can build & rebuild systems that embrace plastic-free principles: refill, regenerate, repair, share, reuse, and refuse single-use plastic. What else should be added to the list? 💥 Comment below. 🌎 🍃 #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic
