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

Both houses repealed the 100-foot rule, which burdened ratepayers and fueled fossil use.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!

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!

“…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.”

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

nylcv's tweet card. With less congestion, less carbon pollution, less accidents, could it be a model for other US cities? Six months in, environmentalists say yes

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.

Recent data revealed that NYC had the lowest midyear total of traffic deaths in the first half of 2025 since 2018. This has been largely credited to NY’s Vision Zero initiatives and congestion pricing program! Read more: buff.ly/Rm4iykv
