NSAC’s sponsored AB 2208 (Asm. Ash Kalra) passed in 2022 which has led to Washington, Minnesota, and Illinois’ legislatures enacted bills to phase out the sale of toxic, mercury-containing compact and linear fluorescent lamps. 10 states have now passed legislation to transition to energy-efficient Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to prevent pollution, conserve energy, and save consumers money! 💡🎉 Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3zDFIXS #EndToxicLighting #CleanLighting #LEDBulbs #EnergyEfficiency

Over 375 million used cartridges are discarded each year, contributing more than 150 million pounds of plastic waste to our landfills. Stop the unnecessary plastic waste generated by single-use non-recyclable printer cartridges imported from overseas and help bring back, what once was a thriving U.S. Recycling and Re-manufacturing industry for used printer cartridges. Sign the petition to BAN the import of generic and counterfeit non-recyclable printer cartridges that end up in our landfills here: https://bit.ly/4dMsUNe #StopPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #ClosedLoopSystems #SustainablePrinting
