Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.

Plastics pollution is poisoning our air, water, and bodies — and New Yorkers are paying the price, while corporations pollute for free. That's why our @vfajans joined @SenatorHarckham.bsky.social and Judith Enck of @beyondplastics.bsky.social today in Albany to push for change.

Last year the American Chemistry Council spent $930,000 lobbying against PRRIA and is on track to spend the same amount this year. Let’s keep special interests out of our grocery aisle and pass PRRIA.

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.
