Sure We Can

Our elected officials are back in Albany where they will be addressing two important state bills that are paired together. You can contact your rep and ask them to vote in favor of the bills.

Bigger Better Bottle Bill: an update of our 40-year-old deposit law. It will expand the types of bottles that can be returned and increase the redemption to 10 cents.

Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act: a ground-breaking bill to incentivize manufacturers to create less packaging and more recyclable packaging.

A healthy politics is sorely needed, capable of reforming and coordinating institutions, promoting best practices and overcoming undue pressure and bureaucratic inertia. — Pope Francis (LS 181)
