I've blocked prob hundreds of thousands of people on here. Some have said they wish I'd unblock so they could tweet another slur at me. If you send this cat rescue organization $100 (link is at the end of this person's thread), I will unblock.

In 2024, we successfully got:

✅ cancer-causing NDEA out of Speedo’s swim caps
✅ endocrine-disrupting BPA out of 51 brands of socks
✅ cancer-causing NDMA out of Lululemon’s latex yoga mats

There's still time in 2024 to support our work with a donation! https://t.co/olyTk88Y9B

2024 was a busy year for us! We fought to pass policies to protect the public from:

✅ menstrual products containing high levels of PFAS
✅ artificial food dyes in school meals
✅ plastic bags at grocery store checkouts

Looking forward to a big 2025!

‼️ Today, 42 more companies (including Cole Haan, Dolce & Gabbana, Manolo Blahnik) opted in to our precedent-setting, industry-wide agreement with leather footwear and glove companies to eliminate the toxic hexavalent chromium on the surface of leather. https://t.co/Np71XHVYf9

Great to speak with @HuffPost about #microplastics, and how we at @CenterEnvHealth are pushing governments and companies toward systemic changes to stop the pollution and reformulate away from harmful chemicals.
Thanks @JillianGloria for this story! https://t.co/QlCkCHDH5e

“The continued practice of selling fashion accessories containing toxic chemicals to lower-income shoppers is unconscionable. Affordability should not come at the cost of our health.”

Memorials at Flaco’s Tree this morning. (The Central Park half marathon was running past at the time I visited) #flacotheowl #birdcpp

I endured the hardest year of my career while finding strength, resilience and joy in Flaco. I even centered him on my Earth Day speech against the advice and jeers of my colleagues. Rest in power, beloved. Thank you for your gifts to New Yorkers and for
reminding me of my grit

[Kizzy Charles-Guzman @KizzyCG5]

Our city is more than skyscrapers and subways, there are parks, gardens and so many other green spaces — the backyards of 8.8 million New Yorkers.

What a joy to spend this #EarthDay this morning with the volunteers in Queens who keep @NYCParks clean and green.

[Janette Sadik-Khan @JSadikKhan]

10 years ago today we installed NYC's first Citi Bike station. They said that bikes would bring traffic chaos, danger & lawsuits. What happened instead was history: 178 million trips, 100k rides daily on 28k bikes, turning NYC into one of the world's great cycling cities.
