Turning the Tide: HB 28 and the Fight Against Plastic Pollution

Highland United Methodist hurch 1901 Ridge Rd, Raleigh, NC

League of Women Voters-Wake’s Environment Committee, in collaboration with Toward Zero Waste, will host the November Timely Topics event, a discussion of the problem of plastic pollution in North Carolina and recent efforts to combat this problem. One of those efforts is HB-28, the NC Managing Environmental Waste Act of 2023. Championed by Rep. Harry Warren (R, Rowan), the bill’s primary sponsor, and Rep. Pricey Harrison (D-Guilford), HB 28 is a bipartisan bill that allocates funds to the NC Policy Collaboratory to study the issue of food service ware and that aims to reduce the use of single-use plastic throughout the state. Leading the discussion will be Grady O’Brien, Policy Associate with the North Carolina Conservation Network. Grady will summarize the current status of the bill and will outline the challenges faced by legislators and environmentalists who are working to eliminate plastic waste. The Environment Committee will be offering light refreshments for attendees.  In a spirit of sustainability, all serve ware will be either reusable or compostable. This will be an in-person event.  It is open to the public. Registration is required. We hope to see you there! Speaker Grady O’Brien, Policy Associate, North Carolina Conservation Network Grady’s work includes […]

Don’t Break Raleigh’s Transit Promises!

Don’t break Raleigh’s transit promises  Will New Bern BRT revitalize existing neighborhoods or eliminate them? Register now for Livable Raleigh's Community Conversation on Thursday, November 16, at 7pm when Livable Raleigh will host a Zoom event featuring Tolulope Omokaiye, Chair of Raleigh Transit Authority. The pairing of two record-setting New Bern Avenue initiatives: the $97M New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line and staff’s proposed 744 parcel multi-story upzoning of private land along the New Bern Avenue Corridor, have presented the Planning Commission and City Council with some of the most complex and difficult growth decisions Raleigh will ever face. The difficult question for the Planning Commission and City Council is this: Rather than continuing to chip away at the overlay zoning’s many inequitable impacts, are you willing to call for an alternate staff proposal that puts less emphasis on rapid economic redevelopment and more emphasis on best practices that will achieve equitable revitalization without dislocation? Learn more and ask your questions on November 16. Register today!
