People Over Plastics

Meet the Legislators on May 11, 2026

On Monday, May 11th, Beyond Plastics will be meeting NY State Legislators to ask for their support for the Packing Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA).

The Clean Air Coalition Steering Group signed up to attend this event which runs from 10AM to 4PM.  If you want to join us, please sign up here.  Many legislators are so overloaded with bills, that our presence in their offices can make a real difference.

If you decide to come, Please make sure you are registered to attend one of the three required event briefings. This briefing will review all logistics and information for the day. Alexis Goldsmith, of Beyond Plastics, will also email more logistics to people next week.

While the bill has been weakened in recent weeks, it still makes significant progress in reducing waste.  For more information see the Environmental Advocates of New York explanation of The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act.

Thank for your support and we hope to see you there!
