Happy Thanksgiving!
As we enjoy precious time with loved ones, let’s not forget those struggling with food insecurity.

Improved allergen labeling will help protect the nearly 2 million New Yorkers living with food allergies.

Thank you the Lake George Association for hosting today’s Road Salt Reduction Summit. NY's drinking water is at risk from rising salinity; reservoirs like Amawalk could be undrinkable in 30 yrs if we don’t act. The Adirondacks’ use of brine & sand versus road salt should be scaled statewide.
