Environment New York

.@ENERGY is working to lower energy costs and increase efficiency in American homes by making it cheaper to install measures such as heat pumps, electrical panels, and insulation. Today @NYSERDA launched the first state program. environmentamerica.org/newyork/center…

New York is the first state in the nation to launch a program after @ENERGY approved its application for the Home Electrification and Rebate Appliance Program created by the Inflation Reduction Act. environmentamerica.org/newyork/center…

Digger bees are digging a new law to restrict bee-killing pesticides. (Note: so are other bees) #savethebees environmentamerica.org/updates/digger…

A House bill would block protections for #whales, #wolves, #bats and more. The Senate must fix this. environmentamerica.org/updates/house-…

Thank you @SenGillibrand for defending #LWCF! New Yorkers need conserved lands to protect clean drinking water in the state. #LWCF funds the Highlands Conservation Act which protects thousands of acres of NY lands and provides drinking water to millions of urban residents.

The Greater Chaco Landscape is too special to destroy. Thank you @RepAOC for standing up for nature. #ProtectChacoCanyon #PublicLands #MoreNature

Jim Furnish in @ABQJournal: “Protecting and restoring mature and old-growth forests on America’s public lands is the cheapest, most effective way to pull carbon from our atmosphere.” #ClimateForests are #WorthMoreStanding 🌎🌲🌲 abqjournal.com/2600280/protec…

“Mature and old-growth trees play an outsized role in carbon sequestration and storage and provide a host of related benefits, including water quality, recreation, and overall ecosystem integrity.” #ClimateForests @RepPaulTonko @RepEspaillat matsui.house.gov/media/press-re…

.@EnvAm & @EnvNY proudly endorse @RepPaulTonko. From protecting NY’s waterways to helping Americans save energy in their homes, this green champ has an extensive record of championing green issues. Vote for Rep. Tonko on or before Nov 8! bit.ly/3TXtX3o

Troubling news for native bees, according to a new NY survey. "If we lose some of these bees, we will lose a very interesting slice of insect diversity in New York. We could also lose some native wildflowers.” news.cornell.edu/stories/2022/0…

The #InflationReductionAct has $$ to hep us switch to #cleanenergy. Thanks to the U.S. Senate for passing this bill today.

Lawmakers in Rhode Island just passed legislation to reach 100% renewable energy by 2033. If the governor signs it, RI will have the fastest timeline to reach 100% of any US state. It’s time for every state in America to join NY and RI and #Go100Percent! environmentnewyork.org/news/ame/rhode…

A #30x30 "goal wld...conserve the lakes & bays where we swim & fish; the farms that grow our food; the forests & wetlands that provide wildlife habitat;...our clean drinking water; & the places New Yorkers rely on for jobs, adventure, & solace" #MoreNature gothamgazette.com/130-opinion/11…

Bee-killing pesticides poison baby bees' brains and impair a bee's ability to find its way home. Amazon can make a huge difference for bees by taking these pesticides off its virtual shelves. Tell @Amazon it’s time to #SaveTheBees. environmentnewyork.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/…

There’s an easy way for the U.S. to #ActOnClimate - stop logging old growth and mature trees on federal land. Our trees and forests are a ready-made climate solution, no assembly required. #ClimateForests #LetThemGrow @POTUS @SecVilsack @SecDebHaaland 🌳🌳

Big box stores can make a big impact by going solar, our new report finds. New York’s retail and grocery units can generate 3,280.2 gigawatt-hours of rooftop solar energy, enough to power 308,000 average homes. #SolarOnSuperstores environmentnewyork.org/feature/ame/so…

Bees can’t defend themselves from neonics -- that’s where we come in. Today’s the last day of our Year-End Drive. Will you donate before midnight to help fuel our campaigns to protect pollinators and defend the environment in the year ahead? environmentnewyork.webaction.org/p/salsa/donati…

The American bumblebee is teetering on the edge of collapse. This species has already vanished entirely from 8 states. Tell the Fish and Wildlife Service: Protect the American bumblebee. environmentnewyork.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/…

Last Friday, @GovKathyHochul announced a roadmap to get New York to 10 gigawatts of distributed solar by 2030. More solar on roofs will keep New York at the forefront of renewable energy leaders across the country. Read our statement here: environmentnewyork.org/news/ame/state…
