in sending a THANK YOU
to Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson & Assemblymember Monique Limón

Thank you to our state representatives for their AYE votes for the California Circular Economy and Plastic Pollution Reduction Act. Bills AB 1080 and SB 54 passed the Senate and came up four votes short in the Assembly. We are so grateful to Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblymember Monique Limón for supporting these bills.

The number of votes in support of these bills displayed great progress in elevating the waste reduction conversation in the state legislature. The bills had several co-authors and a broad, diverse support coalition. The State Senate is now on record supporting this concept – another major success.

We are hopeful that a similar bill will return in the near future. In the meantime, it is up to all of us to limit our consumption of single use plastics and reduce the flow of this harmful pollutant.

Please join us in sending your thanks to our state reps:
