The vast majority of #PFAS like other chemicals in sewage sludge aka #biosolids are not coming from our bodies. They’re coming from industries using the sewer and landfill leachate that’s dumped into it. It’s not only households on the sewer system. Biosolids = industrial waste.
The nation’s largest wastewater system is seeking an answer to a nauseating question: What do we do with the half-million tons of human excrement and solid waste that pours into the city’s sewers every year? https://t.co/VxysKi02wS
Chemical recycling is yet another PR stunt, like traditional plastics recycling has been for half a century, to convince the public and lawmakers that we don’t need to reduce plastic production and use. Reduction is the only way we’ll curb plastic pollution. @sejorg#SEJ2024
"most experts agree that big policy changes are needed to address the health risks posed by phthalates and bisphenols" so let's pass The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act in NY State! https://t.co/nTmCiuWfDE
Another packed rally to demand @NYCMayor restore funding to community composting.
If the admin doesn’t act, in 2 weeks, 100+ compost workers will be laid off.
Now is the time to double down on solutions to the climate crisis and achieve our city climate goals!
If you needed another reason to be skeptical of National Grid’s “green gas” program, or the plan to divert all organic waste from curbside organics collection to digesters, it seems that the facility, after an 8 year delay to starting operation, is once again not operational
It’s not rocket science Alternatives to plastic are in our past. We need strong new laws to make it our future @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins NY can pass the @DeborahJGlick@SenatorHarckham Packaging Reduction law
2/2 US schools serve 7.35 billion meals/year. These meals are packed w single-use plastics, making a significant contribution to US #plasticpollution, waste, & hurting communities along the way. #microplastics are in our soil, food, water, air, & our bodies!#plasticfreelunch

@Marcelius_B THANK YOU FOR THIS ^^^ I'm saving exactly your sentence in my notes so I can put this into practice more fully to model thoughtful and actionable language.
Today should've been a celebration for my friend, Ryan Thoresen Carson, on his 32nd birthday. So many hearts are hurting today. But in his honor, I want to share some of my favorite things about him 🧵
Emerging Republican consensus: having a drug-addicted child is an impeachable offense - but trying to mount a coup d'etat and overturn the Constitution by violence is not.
