Burning waste is NOT a solution to the #climatecrisis or the #plasticpollution crisis. But this cement industry-promoted false solution will fill our air with more toxic pollution while distracting from investing in true solutions to our plastics, recycling & climate problems.

New York must support and expand worker cooperatives.

When workers own their business together and make decisions in their shared interest, they gain greater control over their working conditions, higher pay, and generational wealth-building opportunities.
