Greenidge is setting a dangerous precedent for ANY polluting corporation that will completely derail New York's Climate Laws. They must SHUT DOWN once and for all. It's time for us to show up.

Waiting to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will put people over plastic next week or not. Sure hope he does not side with the plastics and chemical industry.

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: bit.ly/people-over-...

Plastic is made with 16,000 chemicals, more than a quarter of which are known to be toxic to humans. Time to put people's health over plastic and chemical industry profits by passing the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act A1749 in the NYS Assembly. This critical legislation would ban the use of 17 of the most toxic chemicals in packaging, including lead, mercury, cadmium, PFAS chemicals, phthalates, bisphenols like BPA and BPS, furans, formaldehyde, halogenated flame retardants and more. Urge your NYS Assemblymember to vote YES on A1749 before the legislative session ends on June 17. Call now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Time is running out to put people over plastic in NYS. Call today to urge your NYS Assembly to urge them to vote YES on Assemblywoman's Glick's Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749) now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.
