You might have a spoon's worth of microplastics - in your brain. https://t.co/Jb30MgK85X via @usatoday And there is something the @NYSA_Majority and @BPHACaucus can do about it. Pass @DeborahJGlick plastics reduction bill in the next few days. Thank you. @Newsday @NYDailyNews @greenwatchdogNY @AmerAcadPeds @SolagesNY @timesunion

Big corporations want lawmakers to protect their profits over your health. Whose side is your Assemblymember on: the chemical industry or children and families? Tell your Assemblymember to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act! 📲Call now: https://t.co/EX9GAFQvQ4

"It’s a rogues’ gallery of polluters that have lined up to oppose the bill" @enckj says. @CarlHeastie @NYSA_Majority @BPHACaucus: Put #NewYork over industry profits. Pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act. @insideclimate @laurendalban https://t.co/ByVUwMcKnW

Breaking news: @EPA proposes designating #vinylchloride as a high-priority chemical under #TSCA!

“Following the law & the science should lead EPA to conclude that vinyl chloride is far too dangerous to make or use, and should be banned.” #BanVinylChloride

Please share. Let's all work together to get this bill passed.

[Sally Goldenberg @SallyGold]

NEW: State lawmakers have reached an agreement on legislation to reduce plastics in the waste stream by 30% over 12 years. Both @SenatorHarckham and @enckj support it; businesses do not. Good scoop from @m_jfrench:

@fastlerner @sejorg Thank you Sharon for these pieces and so many others! And much gratitude to the whistleblowers in EPA who put their careers on the line to spotlight how industry calls the shots in OCSPP.

US Ecology received and failed to report more that 11 million pounds of PFAS waste to @EPA.

Reporting laws cannot just be an empty promise to communities -- polluting industries need to know that they will be held accountable. https://t.co/8dEwv2WS8y

[Eve Gartner @EveGartner]

@fastlerner Your writings on PFAS have been an absolutely critical factor in getting worldwide attention to the PFAS crisis and some -- though certainly nowhere near enough -- response from regulators. So much about what we know about PFAS originated with your deep reporting. Thank you!

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

Tell @99Only not to bargain with your health! New tests show the company continues to sell products that contain toxic chemicals, including BPA, PVC, PFAS, phthalates & lead. Take action - demand toxics out of #99CentsOnly products! https://t.co/nlaV0Ix5R6

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

The Biden administration has the chance to uphold its commitment to strengthen health and environmental protections by supporting banning dangerous chemicals like DP, and reverse course on the country’s obstruction of global efforts to do so. https://t.co/RiBzpN2Ppl

[Eve Gartner @EveGartner]

Thank you EPA for throwing out the Trump Admin's PFBS Toxicity Assessment because it was based on "biased political interference." Looking forward to scientifically sound actions from the Biden team to protect people from PFAS. https://t.co/KClk6WYDQc

Scary new book. Chemical exposure to everyday products is threatening our ability to reproduce. We need to pay attention before it is too late. https://t.co/90ynsIF7cA
