Microplastics are everywhere, causing irreversible damage to our environment and potentially our health.

We commend EPA’s efforts to add microplastics to the list of prioritized research contaminants in drinking water. This is an important step for protecting our environment & public health.

Single-use cups, utensils, napkins + containers add up to tons of trash each year. Each reuse makes a lasting impact for a cleaner community. Get #TakeoutTips at https://t.co/xkud1SuQRw #ReuseToGo #RethinkYourRoutine

CalEPA and CalRecycle staff attended and presented during Central California Environmental Justice Networks (CCEJN) Roots of Resiliency Conference hosted in Avenal, California, where they hosted a World Café session to facilitate discussions on the impacts of plastic on communities.

Tired of litter and rising trash bills? California just approved new rules putting consumers first. Producers must now cut waste, control costs, and make sure their single-use packaging is reused, recycled, or composted when you’re done with it.

✅ Lower costs for communities
✅ Cleaner neighborhoods
✅ Real accountability

It's long overdue that we shine a spotlight on Cancer Alley and places around the world that are subjected to these harms because of the prioritization of profit over people. #UnplasticYourLife

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Californians have repeatedly rejected dangerous offshore drilling off our shores for decades.

Now, after recklessly dragging the United States into a war with Iran that is driving up global oil prices, the Trump Administration is using that self made crisis as an excuse to illegally exercise emergency authority on behalf of Big Oil and at the expense of our coastlines.

I will fight alongside other California leaders against this illegal action and continue to protect our precious coastline.

CA's plastic pollution prevention law is “a smart law that gets the economics right,” says economist Dr. Scorse. @CAgovernor, hold the plastics industry accountable for plastic it produces and give Californians the $32B benefits in #SB54. @CalRecycle https://t.co/ogCCoP8LMb

“Only a market in which producers pay the full cost of their pollution meets the definition of a well-functioning market system; anything else is a de facto subsidy to corporate interests and plastic producers.” #sb54 @CAgovernor @CalRecycle

Jennifer Fearing of Fearless Advocacy was a key player in the negotiations to pass #SB54, a landmark bill that regulates plastic waste. @CAgovernor signed the bill in 2022, but as we all know, passing legislation is one thing, implementation is another

My bill SB 1053 takes effect on January 1, 2026. Thanks to all the incredible supporters! #banthebag #caleg

[Senator Catherine S. Blakespear @SenBlakespear]

It was wonderful today to be at Seaside Market in Cardiff, handing out reusable bags and talking about the implementation of my #SB1053, which bans plastic bags from being provided at grocery store checkouts. This will significantly reduce CA’s plastic bag pollution! @CALPIRG #ZeroWaste
