Lawmakers keep citing inclusion of the ASAP act, but only a few of those provisions are included in the budget bill Assembly just voted on.
No new distributed solar goal, which makes it very unlikely that PSC will revive any of the incentive programs for the industry.

The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act will cut packaging waste, ban PFAS "forever chemicals," and save taxpayers $1 billion. 67% of NYers support it. Thank you @SenatorHarckham and AW @DeborahJGlick for championing it!
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 and @PlasticsBeyond's @enckj today in Albany to push for change.

Excited to see the missions of both past & present roles converge as I enter my 2nd year leading @greenwatchdogNY & continue the critical work of @bank_fwd & so many others holding Wall Street accountable. But as banks backpedal, we need a new frontier. 🌎💰

🧵👇 A few key takeaways & why state action matters:
As giant banks back away from their climate commitments, New York has a chance to lead. As the center of global finance, we can enact laws and regulations that hold them accountable for the emissions they generate, and make sure they use their power to shift the world economy away from fossil fuels.

Gov. Hochul’s move to launch congestion pricing in Manhattan on Dec. 29 is the right decision, and a win for New Yorkers across the board! 🚇🚌🌎❤️

Beautifully said, Bill. Thank you for your passion and principles. @billmckibben
So with malice toward none and charity for all, let me say: let's try to keep the earth from overheating, and our country too.
On we go
