HB 3018, which would keep uneaten food out of the landfill and use it instead to feed the hungry or be turned into compost for farms just passed out of committee. Thanks to @RepNeronHD26 for leading on this important issue!

"Inclusive access” programs are neither inclusive for students trying to save $ nor do they give students better access to txtbk options. We need @usedgov to ensure that these programs become “opt in.” Read our new report: studentpirgs.org/2024/06/13/aut…

Thank you Gov. @TinaKotek for signing #RightToRepair into law! With Right to Repair becoming law, Oregon continues to boldly rethink our throwaway, disposable approach to consumption and disposal of electronics and appliances. @SollmanJaneen @RepNeronHD26

Does @amazon's plastic packaging actually get recycled? @USPIRG and @EnvAm put tracking devices in Amazon plastic packaging and put them in store drop bins intended for recycling. Find out where they went in our latest report: pirg.org/oregon/resourc…

1. Restricting people's right to repair their products can hike repair costs and hurt fair competition, blocking small businesses. As Oregon considers a bill to strengthen people's right to repair, @FTC submitted a letter supporting lawmakers' efforts. ftc.gov/legal-library/…

#RightToRepair would to allow non-profits like @FreeGeekPDX to more easily refurbish old electronic devices and get them in the hands of people who need them. @SollmanJaneen talked about this in a hearing yesterday on one key aspect of Oregon's SB 1596.

We've been canvassing around Oregon to pass #RightToRepair in #orleg next year and were excited to be joined by Senator @SollmanJaneen, who joined our staff to give a briefing and knock on some doors!

Creating a program to examine and hold accountable all health care costs and then exempting a significant portion of those health care costs makes no sense. Good piece from @MaribethGuarino outlining why #orleg should not move forward on HB 2045.
