In anticipation of #NationalRecyclingDay, we made a special appearance at The Meteor's Meet the Moment Summit, hosted by the Brooklyn Museum. Empowered by the inspiring conversation between comedian Ilana Glazer and marine biologist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson on the transformative power of climate optimism, we encouraged attendees to take a small but impactful step towards environmental protection by calling Governor Hochul of New York to voice their support for the passage of New York's Bigger Better Bottle Bill. Advocating for a bigger, better Bottle Bill is a pivotal initiative for reducing plastic waste and fostering a circular economy, a cause we wholeheartedly support. As firm believers that possibility and joy can effectively combat the paralysis that many of us experience in these urgent climate times, we urge you to take one simple action today to make the world a better place in celebration of National Recycling Day. ♻

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of our friend and activist Ryan Thoreson Carson, who dedicated his life's work to important environmental legislation like New York's Bigger, Better Bottle Bill with his team at NYPIRG. Ryan was a bright light in this world, and in his honor we encourage everyone to participate in a random act of kindness—just like he did every day.

“This bill offers a once-in-a-generation chance to update a law that will have a measurable impact on decreasing pollution and landfill inputs, beautifying public spaces, and boosting the income of often marginalized members of society.”

According to Saskia van Gendt, Rothy's Head of Sustainability, bottle bills are one of the most effective tools we have to keep plastic out of landfills. In her recent article in Fast Company, Saskia explains how an increase of just 5¢ to the redemption value of a bottle can keep up to 773M bottles out of landfills and raise statewide recycling rates to 89%.

At Rothy's we're all about sustainable solutions, and we believe in the power of Bottle Bills to make a real difference in the fight against plastic waste. Check out Saskia's article for more insights, and join us in supporting legislative action to reduce plastic waste once and for all.

Every year 1+ billion plastic bottles are thrown away in New York—and it’s no surprise, given that the current refund on plastic is only 5¢ thanks to a Bottle Bill from 1982. Four decades later, we think it’s time to give a dime about plastic. That’s why we’re rallying behind NY’s Bigger, Better Bottle Bill to increase the refund to 10¢ and keep an additional 773 million bottles out of landfills.
