AS NYERS STRUGGLE TO BREATHE, ENVIRO GROUPS CALL ON NYS LEG TO PASS KEY CLIMATE BILLS NOW!

While climate-driven wildfires burn Canada and make air quality across NYS "very unhealthy," will lawmakers stand with the dirty fossil fuel companies at fault, or New Yorkers?

ALBANY, NY (06/07/2023) (readMedia)-- While lawmakers stall on passing key climate bills, climate-driven wildfires in Canada are shrouding New York with poisonous smoke, causing historically dangerous air quality. With three days left of session, the NYS legislature has the opportunity to respond to this climate disaster by passing the Climate Change Superfund Act, Packaging and Recycling Infrastructure Act, and NY HEAT.

This afternoon, environmental groups will explain the link between climate change, Canadian wildfires, and the historically bad air quality blanketing the state of New York. The groups will demand the legislature take climate action by passing these bills before session ends.
