NYC goals to reduce GHGEs 80% by 2050 & achieve zero waste by 2030 are unlikely to be met if we pass a weak version of the #CWZ bill, or any climate measure before this city for that matter. We're encouraging 1 carter per zone & addtl strong envtl considerations #DontTrashNYC

NYC generates ~35,000 tons of trash/day. Innovative ways to reduce this while ⬆️employment already exist - e.g. making pathways for NYC's climate warriors who reuse organic waste & employ women & young people of color in well-paying, safer jobs, such as @BKROT #DontTrashNYC

We also need to reduce the amount of waste we generate - landfilling produces methane & exacerbates air pollution, heat, & public health risks - directly impacting frontline communities in heat vulnerable neighborhoods, near facilities, & along waterfronts #DontTrashNYC

Hey @donttrashnyc, this is Tok w/ NYC-EJA. Private trash collection has a huge negative impact on EJ communities (e.g. N Brooklyn, S Bronx, & SE Queens) where waste transfer stations & their diesel collection & long-haul trucks are concentrated #DontTrashNYC

Fernando from @THEPOINTCDC testifying on benefits exclusive commercial waste zones would bring South Bronx & NYC, including "significant reductions in air pollution, GHG emissions, & noise, by taking miles of truck traffic off of NYC city streets." #PassCWZforNYC #DontTrashNYC

Leslie from @elpuentepalante repping the most waste burdened community in NYC — their air quality study showed PM2.5 levels 4-5x higher than other parts of the city. “This is why we support commercial waste zones, for justice for our communities.” #DontTrashNYC #passCWZforNYC

Less than 25% of NYC’s commercial waste is recycled or composted now, far lower than in cities with exclusive waste zones like Seattle, San Jose, and San Francisco. Support the bill that will reform NYC’s sanitation industry + fight climate change. #PassCWZforNYC #DontTrashNYC

Fernando from @THEPOINTCDC testifying last night in support of #exclusivezones, encouraging truck counts to ensure actual reductions of vehicle miles in communities like the South Bronx where 304 tucks/hour drive by on some corners, 45% of which are waste trucks. #DontTrashNYC

Leslie from @elpuentepalante, testifying in support of #exclusivezones at last night's hearing. Most trash facilities are located in communities of color like North Brooklyn, disproportionately exposing our neighborhoods to health consequences of truck pollution. #DontTrashNYC

Fatal crashes are rising in the private sanitation industry. Risks are higher for EJ communities where waste facilities are disproportionately cited. We need commercial waste reform to protect New Yorkers. #DontTrashNYC #VisionZero https://bit.ly/2JwLnQP

Commercial waste zoning will take trucks off the street in EJ communities and make it easier to breathe @BrianLehrer #donttrashnyc
