New York State Nurses Association Supports The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (Assembly Bill A1749-A, Senate Bill 1464-A)!

"Research tells us that microplastic and plastic chemical exposure is associated with dementia, heart disease, stroke, infertility, cancers of the breast, endometrium, ovaries, and prostate, early onset puberty and early menopause, autoimmune diseases, and premature death.

According to data published by Endocrine Society, the negative health impacts from plastic is costing Americans $250 billion in healthcare costs each year. New laws, like this one, will protect health and save tax dollars.

The NYS Nurses Association supports the Glick/Harckham bill." - New York State Nurses Association Memorandum of Support: Assembly Bill A1749-A, Senate Bill 1464-A, “The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act”

We are very close to passing the strongest plastic reduction bill in the US, which means that the lobbyists for the plastics, chemical, and packaging industries are fighting extra hard to prevent the bill from passing.

We need everyone to call their Assemblymember and urge them to put people over plastic.

Call (844) 311-4414 right now to be connected directly to your Assemblymember’s office, and urge them to vote yes on The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749-a)!

"New York’s solid waste and pollution crisis demands action now. Excess packaging is driving up costs for taxpayers, overwhelming municipalities, and exposing New Yorkers to toxic chemicals. The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act is a real solution. New Yorkers deserve relief from the burden of paying for toxic packaging they have no control over. PRRIA must pass this year.” - Assemblymember Deborah Glick

Momentum is building! Please keep up the pressure - call (844) 311-4414 right now to be connected directly to your Assemblymember's office, and urge them to vote yes on The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749-a)!

Today, at a Beyond Plastics news conference, I revealed the results of an investigation I created and led to expose deceptive recycling claims made by Starbucks, in close collaboration with WM, formally Waste Management.

Why another Starbucks investigation? Because Starbucks and WM made public announcements several months ago stating that plastic cups are now "widely recyclable". However, the American factories actually willing to buy enormous volumes of low-value plastic cups, and then downcycle them into new items, are very rare.

By placing Bluetooth trackers inside Starbucks' own cups and following their journey, it became clear that the market for used plastic cups is extremely small — not a single cup was routed to an actual recycling factory.

Accepting plastic for recycling and actually recycling it are two very different activities. Starbucks and WM know this, yet they continue to promote that low value, highly contaminated plastic cups are "widely recyclable".

The ♻️ claim is not only deceptive, it takes the focus away from implementing real solutions that are needed to the plastic pollution problem — a problem that Starbucks contributes to every, single day with millions of plastic cups discarded.

The real solution is we need less plastic.

Thank you to our fantastic speakers at Friday's press conference: Greg Anderson, New York City Department of Sanitation Commissioner; Justin Sanchez, New York City Council Member and Chair of the Sanitation Committee; Harvey Epstein, New York City Council Member; Grace Lee, New York State Assemblymember; Brian Kavanagh, New York State Senator; Chris Alexander, NAACP New York State Conference Executive Director; and Eric Goldstein, Natural Resources Defence Council Senior Attorney and New York City Environment Director.

We stood at South Street Seaport's Pier 17, alongside the East River where barges haul away city trash. Since the closure of the Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island in 2001, city taxpayers have spent billions of dollars exporting waste outside the city.

Last year, taxpayers spent approximately half a billion dollars trucking New York City waste to landfills in the Finger Lakes; a trash incinerator in an environmental justice community in Newark, New Jersey; and to other states. 30% of this waste is single-use packaging. But by reducing the amount of waste and requiring large companies — rather than taxpayers — to be financially responsible for waste disposal, this one bill will save New York City taxpayers $380 million every year.

Please call (844) 311-4414 right now to be connected directly to your Assemblymember's office, and urge them to vote yes on The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749-a)!
