Two big wins for the Climate Movement passed with the New York State Budget:
The All-Electric Building Act ends fossil fuels in new buildings under seven stories in 2026 and in all new buildings by 2029.
The Build Public Renewables Act mandates the NY Power Authority to build new large-scale renewable projects to meet our Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals while creating thousands of green union jobs and retiring polluting plants in Environmental Justice communities.
Two more Bills to work on:
Bigger Better Bottle Bill (S237May/A6353Glick)
The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Act (S4246Harckam/ A5322Glick)
