New York State could move forward with the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act — a piece of legislation that has been promoted by some climate activists and opposed by many small businesses. Wine and beer producers have been especially concerned.
Some state leaders say they've worked with the business community to create something more fair, but also something that will lead to less packaging waste.
Our guests discuss it:
- Jeongyoon Han, Capitol News Bureau reporter for the New York Public News Network
- Melissa Carlson, climate activist with Third Act Upstate NY and part-time architect
- Alan Cole, member of the Climate Smart Community Task Force
- Chad Hendrickson, brand ambassador for Lakewood Vineyards
- Amanda Richardson, brewer and sustainability coordinator at Strangebird Beer
