The @NYSenate has included the #NYBondAct in the one-house budget. Reinstating the Act would help ensure NYers have clean air to breathe, safe water to drink, and parks to enjoy. Our friends at @adk_council give a great break down of the proposal here: bit.ly/3c00PoN

Excellent points, @PeconicLandTrus! #NYBondAct @CleanWater_Jobs
NYers deserve clean water to drink, fresh air to breathe, and safe food to eat. The #NYBondAct would protect clean water, reduce pollution, and conserve farmland. Putting the #NYBondAct on the ballot would create #CleanWaterAndJobs. bit.ly/3k5mpun @PeconicLandTrus

We support the #NYBondAct, which would include $100 million for protecting our state's irreplaceable farmland!

New York is home to some of the best farmland in the nation, yet this land is under threat. From 2001-2016, over 250K acres of farmland were lost or fragmented. Join us in asking state leaders to protect farmland and support farmers! #SpeakingUpforNYFarms farmland.salsalabs.org/allia…

Our environment & economy need the $3B Bond Act more than ever. This record investment in clean water & projects to increase resiliency & combat climate change = tens of thousands of jobs. With our planet in peril & our recovery dawning, let’s be bold. RT to show your support!

An environmental bond act will protect the health, safety and prosperity of all New Yorkers. This is a once in a generation chance to invest in families, the economy and the environment. @CleanWater_Jobs

The #NYBondAct offers a path forward for addressing the mounting climate crisis. It would reduce climate risks, improve water quality, and prevent pollution. What's more, it'll create 65,000+ good-paying jobs. We commend @toddkaminsky for your support of the #NYBondAct

It’s unacceptable that our ag workers are not included in Phase 1B for vaccine eligibility. The stability of our food system relies on these workers who have risked their safety to ensure food access across NY. It's critical that they be made eligible now. bit.ly/3lr863X
Climate change is a crisis we must confront. We all deserve to live in communities unburdened by pollution, and to breath clean air and drink clean water. Our new @EPA Administrator, @EPAMichaelRegan, is a proven leader who is ready to get to work.

School field trip to the Cambridge Community Forest Fall 2021! It is never too early to learn about forest ecology and the importance of protecting one of our most important natural resources. New Yorkers need the #NYEnviroFund, so we call on the legislature for their support.

The #NYEnviroFund is critical for ensuring state dollars are available to protect our irreplaceable farmland. Between 2001-2016, New York lost over a quarter of a million acres of its farmland. We must save our best farmland for growing food and supporting #cleanwaterandjobs!

The EPF has been critical in farmland protection, public access nature preserves, and job creation in the Genesee Valley! We call on the legislature to support the #NYEnviroFund! #NYBudget #CleanWaterAndJobs @DiPietro4NY @GOPLdrBrianKolb @senatorgallivan @NYGovCuomo @NYSenate
