🚶🏽‍♀️🏢 This week in Red Hook, we walked streets dominated by mega-warehouses + trucks, where ~10k NYCHA residents live + play amid diesel fumes.

Warehouses 👏 Need to 👏 Be 👏 Better 👏 Neighbors and operate with regulation. NY must adopt the #CleanDeliveriesAct to protect communities + reduce pollution.

Although Amazon & other major corporations attract customers with summer deals, for the 1 in 4 NYers who live within a half-mile of an e-commerce warehouse, the additional daily truck trips and pollution are hardly something to celebrate. #CleanDeliveries

Without federal support, the fight for clean air moves to the states. States across the U.S. are funding clean transportation on their own. @governor.ny.gov‪, will you keep NY in this fight for our health?

Right To Zero @righttozero.bsky.social · May 22

Republican Senators recklessly voted to overturn states' life-saving zero-emissions cars standards.

But states still hold their authority under the Clean Air Act to pass more protective tailpipe standards – and they should move quickly to shape new standards after today’s vote.

Earthjustice @earthjustice.org · May 22

BREAKING: Republican Senators just broke the Senate's rules in an unlawful maneuver to overturn states' zero-emissions cars standards – a major overreach on states' rights to clean their air.

Make no mistake about it – they've only gained a temporary setback in the clean energy transition.

The race to “green” New York’s e-commerce mega-warehouses

Over the last decade, the boom in online shopping and e-commerce has made massive warehouses spring up in New York faster than you can make an online purchase.
