On Wednesday, May 7, several hundred advocates were at the New York Capitol to urge legislative leaders to pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act and the Bigger Better Bottle Bill. They also held a rally where speakers discussed the negative impacts of polluting trash incinerators and overflowing landfills near their homes, and shared how legislation to reduce waste will save money.
