Help Pass the Strongest Plastic Packaging Reduction Law!
We need your voice to help pass the NYS Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act that would reduce single-use packaging by 50% over 12 years, make polluters responsible for their packaging waste, get 19 of the most toxic chemicals and substances OUT of packaging, reduce climate emissions, protect environmental justice communities, and more.
If you live in NY, please make two quick calls now to help pass this bill.
If you don’t live in NY, you can still help - share this email with your friends and family in NY now.
