Environmental Advocates Ny

A safe climate for all: our climate policies must set the course to achieve significant greenhouse gas reductions by mid-century and a key focus must be the transportation sector, the biggest source of climate pollution in new york state. We will build broad coalitions pushing for a decarbonized economy powered by 100% renewable energy. We will ensure our infrastructure and communities are strong and resilient in the face of a dramatically changing climate by reducing the number of vehicles on our roads and dramatically scaling up mass transit and other non-polluting transit options.

Clean and healthy communities for all: with more than 50,000 square miles of space, new york has a community to fit every taste - skyscraper apartments, single-family homes in suburbs, small towns, sprawling towns, farmland, wilderness, beaches, valleys, riverfronts and lakefronts. Our need for healthy communities unites us all. This means clean air and water, but also making sure that toxic chemicals that have permeated all aspects of our lives are either banned or strictly regulated and that cleanup doesn't fall on the shoulders of the taxpayer.

Clean water for all: from lake to river to faucet, new york state has some of the best water in the world and we must keep it that way. We intend to protect our source waters and push for mandatory testing for dangerous chemicals. Where water is contaminated, we intend to respond rapidly, encouraging schools and businesses to make the required sustained commitments to clean water. So communities have the funds to fix and maintain water systems, we will help them secure billions in funding for overdue upgrades and repairs. Our goal is to ensure that when new yorkers turn on their faucets, now and in the future, they'll have safe water to drink.
