With critical decisions being made behind closed doors, concerns grow over the lack of transparency and inclusivity in shaping a deal that impacts everyone.
We need a strong #PlasticsTreaty!

@CAgovernor @SenatorSkinner and @SenatorToniAtkins please #FundCNIP in the 2023 #CAbudget. With many facing food benefit cuts despite rising food prices, #CNIP, via #CAMarketMatch, gives Californians in need access to fresh food. #CalLeg

Tomorrow is National Pizza Day 🍕! Sort your pizza box properly after enjoying. Compost it if contaminated with cheese, grease, or food. Clean & dry cardboard can be recycled. Be a recycling superstar by separating greasy/cheesy parts & composting, recycle the rest.
Recycling is not broken but plastic packaging is trashing it. Glad our leaders are taking the polluting plastic industry on. Get the truth about recycling at ambr-recyclers.org/2022/08/a…
To protect our health, planet, and future, we need to #BreakFreeFromPlastic.
Tune in tomorrow at 10 am ET as I lead an @epwcmte hearing on how we can tackle this crisis, fix our broken recycling system, and protect frontline communities.
We can't stop cancer, reproductive harm, respiratory illness, climate change, or plastic pollution if we keep drilling in people's backyards! Leave it in the ground CA!
Vote count happening and will continue until the end of the day.
@hertzieLA @SenBenHueso @SenBobArchuleta @BillDoddCA @SenBillDodd @JoshNewmanCA @SenatorUmberg @SteveBradford please vote YES for common sense protection for residents on the frontlines of oil and gas drilling.
Plastic packaging is trashing recycling...get the real truth from the original recyclers at @AMBRecyclers @EcologyCenter @ecocycle @RecycleAnnArbor @EurekaMN
The truth is: Not only do plastics trash the earth, non-recyclable plastics also trash our recycling systems – a vital tool to build a Zero Waste society.
AMBR is excited to air our short film THIS Friday, #ChasingArrows, exposing the truth about plastics in recycling.
So-called "advanced recycling" is neither. There is nothing "advanced" about burning plastic. Don't let your state subsidize or deregulate it.

@AmChemistry's claims that "advanced recycling" is a green tech that doesn't burn plastic.
We know otherwise: it's toxic, it pollutes, and it can't work at scale.

Happy #PlasticFreeJuly- "The plastic industry spends millions of dollars every year to trick the public into thinking all plastic packaging is recyclable. Now they will have to rethink their packaging strategies or pay full cost for their impacts.”

Historic moment! As recyclers we know plastic packaging is so devastating for recycling programs, disadvantaged communities, health & environment. With #SB54 signed #BigPlastic will have to bear the burden! Thanks to all who helped. @EcologyCenter
