Moving Towards Zero Waste in Connecticut
Connecticut’s Incinerator is shutting down - now is not the time to expand a polluting ash disposal facility.
Connecticut is now a national leader in restricting toxic PFAS chemicals
We did it! Our top priority bill—to ban PFAS in food packaging, firefighting foam, require the state to implement a take-back program and shift to a safe, fluorine-free foam was signed into law!
Wins for Clean Water
The Connecticut legislative session is over and we’re thrilled that several bills that will protect our waters and our health passed this session!
Your voice matters--even when you don't think it does!
