Dart Container’s Post

🌟 NEW this week, I cosponsored a new bill, A5906A, to improve New York's food recycling and donation program. 🍏🥦 📊 One-third of all food in the United States goes uneaten, with the majority ending up in landfills or down the drain. 🗑️ This legislation aims to reduce food waste by redirecting usable food from landfills to those in need, cutting down harmful landfill gases, and saving money.💲 🍎 By expanding access to excess food for those in need, this bill helps address food insecurity, while also reducing costs for facilities with excess food production. 📉 💚 Let's make our state greener and more compassionate together! #FoodRecycling #Environment #CommunitySupport 🌱🌟

Can cotton really make a difference in someone’s life? It can. With your help. Through the Cotton Lives On™ programme, we divert old cottons away from landfill and transform it into new things like recycled denim pads for roll mat mattresses. Then the magic really happens… The roll mats made from old cottons given to the Cotton Lives On™ programme are then provided to various charities, including Shelter. Shelter fights to end the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and communities. We’re privileged to work closely with Shelter and help make a difference to people's lives. Having something comfortable to sleep on can have an incredible impact on someone’s life. Through the Cotton Lives On™ recycling programme we’re determined to keep helping people and the planet, one waste cotton garment and offcut at a time. Be part of something meaningful. - Pop us a message and see how easy it is to get started on https://lnkd.in/eU6vccJc - Now imagine how your old cottons can make a difference.

#breakfreefromplastic .'Between our air, food, and water, there isn’t a part of our existence that isn’t contaminated by microplastics and plastic pollution. Do you agree that there should be federal action to curb the contamination of microplastics into our environment and our food chain?' I agree, we have a solemn obligation to protect our environment and our food supply. 'Megacorporations like Formosa Plastics have a long history of dumping tons of plastic waste into our waterways. Does it concern you that Formosa and other plastic producers continue to engage in toxic plastic pollution that is harmful to our environment and our health?' This is absolutely unacceptable and we must take action now! 'Corporate polluters could unravel decades of hard-fought victories for people and the planet. But that doesn't mean we should stand aside and do nothing while they tear apart protections for our Earth and all the life it supports.' https://lnkd.in/eY8XnxR7

'Every minute, the equivalent of two garbage trucks of plastic waste enters the ocean – and if this pattern continues, there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans in less than 30 years. How important is it to you that we protect our oceans from more plastic pollution?' Extremely important! 'This massive rise in plastic pollution is driven by Big Oil as it pushes its toxic petrochemical products into our environment. This has gotten so bad that scientists are calling plastic plants the “next big carbon superpolluters.”' 'Friends of the Earth is working overtime to stop big corporations from expediting the climate crisis and its devastating effects on our planet. We’re a part of the world’s largest grassroots environmental network – and this work has never been more urgent. But it will only continue if top activists like you keep powering our efforts forward.' 'Corporate polluters could unravel decades of hard-fought victories for people and the planet.
