NYLCV Joins Coalition for Healthier Schools
Our position at the New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) is that nothing is more important than the health of our children. That’s why the NYLCV has signed on to the proposal called the Coalition for Healthier Schools. The coalition, established by our long-time partner, the Health Schools Network, based in Saratoga Springs, NY, sets forth federal and state goals for making our nation’s schools healthier for students and staff. The numbers show us how much is at stake. Every school day, 55 million children and seven million adults - about 20 percent of the American population - attend one of the 130,000 public or private schools somewhere in our country.

Congestion Pricing Begins: A Major Victory for New York's Environment, Transit, and Future
On Sunday, January 5, New York City took a monumental step toward a cleaner, greener, and more efficient future with the official start of congestion pricing. For the first time, drivers entering the heart of Manhattan—south of 60th Street—will pay a toll, with most vehicles charged $9 during peak hours. This historic change has been years in the making and marks a turning point in the city’s efforts to tackle gridlock, air pollution, and underfunded public transit.

Gov. Hochul Signs NYLCV Scorecard Bill to Expand Food Scraps and Recycling Program
The expansion of this successful program will divert some of the estimated 4 million tons of excess food produced in New York State annually, a number that accounts for approximately 17% of the state’s municipal solid waste stream. Instead of going to landfills, where it decomposes and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, it will be donated to New Yorkers who lack access to sufficient food.
