Listen to @nypirg.bsky.social's staff attorney Kyle Giller discuss our report: capitolpressroom.org/2025/03/26/r...

Microplastics may leave Debbie Downer with no hope for the future - but we know that we can tackle plastic pollution and get these tiny particles out of our bodies if we work together!

@nypirg.bsky.social in the news: "You can reduce the amount of garbage that has to be dealt with or litter in the streets, by expanding the bottle law to all the sports drinks, iced teas, that are currently used..."

Queuing up for our turn at the "Million Dollar Staircase" at the Capitol Building in Albany to advocate for the Packaging Reduction and Bigger, Better, Bottle bills.

This year’s winner for best budget testimony goes to @foodandwater.bsky.social www.nysenate.gov/sites/defaul... Time for the Assembly to pass #NYHEAT!

amazing day in Albany yesterday!

@nypirg.bsky.social in the news: "[NYPIRG], a good government group supporting the new bottle bill, released a new analysis on Tuesday that found that updating the law would generate $100 million in new revenue for the state." ♻️💵 www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/...

We are in Albany today with @beyondplastics.bsky.social and the NY is Not Disposable coalition to make mandated #packagingreduction and #biggerbetterbottlebill the path to address the plastic pollution and solid waste crisis.

We're gathering in Albany, NY, today to urge legislators to support the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act and the Bigger Better Bottle Bill. These bills would curb waste; address plastic pollution; and protect our environment, environmental justice communities, and our health.

Gov. Hochul has signed the Climate Change Superfund Act, one of the last two bills of the year. It's predicted to collect $75 billion for climate resiliency from top polluters. Hochul said lawmakers agreed to "several changes" to get her signature

🚨 Hochul signs the Climate Superfund Act in a huge movement win led by @nypirg.bsky.social and Senator @lizkrueger.bsky.social & m/a Dinowitz plus many groups!

Now, greedy corporations like Exxon will pay up to $3 billion per year in damages they’ve caused New York (which taxpayers otherwise pay) 💪

"It's moving from one state working on it to a coast-to-coast interest among policymakers because they're all facing the same problem: The costs of dealing with climate damage are astronomical and going higher."

New York State is showing strong climate leadership!

"New York's passage of the Climate Change Superfund Act could make it easier for other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and California, to pass similar legislation as soon as next year." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/n...

The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law, and New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable, and New Yorkers will save $75 billion. www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

VPN advertising is the most common source of security misinformation that I encounter.

By far.

So many people misplace their trust in dubious consumer VPN products.

The industry is a scourge.
