We are New York's only statewide environmental organization fighting for clean air, clean water, renewable energy & open space through political action.
Did you know New York generates over 1 billion plastic containers each year? And most of them aren't recycled. By cutting out single-use packaging where you can, you're helping build a cleaner, safer New York for everyone. Take the pledge: buff.ly/qVg7moD 🌎 #PlasticFree

🆕@NYSERDA’s Bulk Energy Storage Program: this solicitation will further advance New York’s focus on grid reliability, peak reduction and affordability while meeting the demand for more storage to be safely installed across our state. governor.ny.gov/news/governor-…
Both houses repealed the 100-foot rule, which burdened ratepayers and fueled fossil use. Eliminating the rule would benefit not only the planet but also your wallet. Read about the importance of the repeal and why @GovKathyHochul needs to sign it below! buff.ly/ThEdgSy
High rooftop solar costs aren’t just panels and labor—permitting delays and paperwork drive up prices and slow adoption. NYLCV supports automatic solar permitting to streamline approvals and expand access. We urge lawmakers to prioritize this! Read: buff.ly/kN4tCFE
NYLCV President @Julietighe17 recently joined @Insidecityhall to discuss the climate impacts of Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” on New York State. It is time to rise up as leaders at the state and local level to combat these impacts!
Exciting news! @govkathyhochul just announced that an additional $200 million is now available for zero-emission school buses through the third installment of funding from the historic $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022.


Big news! @govkathyhochul signed legislation making it easier for NYers to upgrade to advanced septic systems that reduce water pollution, protect public health, and improve water quality. We thank @govkathyhochul, @senatorharckham, and @assemblywoman_kassay for their leadership!


School districts can claim up to $40k per electric bus through the 45W tax credit, but time is running out! Join us TOMORROW 7/24 to learn how to apply before the deadline! buff.ly/2gHKjlD

“…thanks to congestion relief, Crescent St. traffic has been decimated, the area around the tunnel feels safe to walk around, and I no longer worry about my son’s morning commute.”
Congestion pricing made us stay in NYC trib.al/zhTU7XB
Lake Shore CSD just rolled out 20 new electric school buses thanks to $7.9M @EPA grant! Huge thanks to @LakeShoreCSD, @SenSchumer, @GovKathyHochul, @NYSERDA, & @nationalgridus for driving this! Read more: buff.ly/CCsbHlj
A Clean Fuel Standard—a top NYLCV priority—would ⬇️carbon intensity of on-road transp fuels by at least 20% by '33. That's why we strongly support @NYCCouncil Res 967 calling on the state legislature & @GovKathyHochul to get this measure over the finish line ASAP. TY @cmshekark!

NYC’s congestion pricing program has cut traffic delays, emissions, and noise complaints, and is projected to generate $500M for transit improvements in 2025. Yet, the Trump administration is suing to end it. So far, the courts have sided with NYC! Read: buff.ly/dZ6oo2x
New York should be doubling down on our commitment to become energy independent, not stalling it. Read our statement on the Public Service Commission’s disappointing decision to halt NYC offshore wind transmission projects below.
