New York is debating a new packaging tax that will drive up the price of everything in your shopping cart.
This legislation forces companies to fund massive new recycling and packaging mandates while we pick up the bill. The result is a hidden tax on New York families that will hike grocery bills by as much as $732 a year and suck $4 billion out of our local economy.
It’s not just about the money. These mandates were rushed through without real input from the people they actually affect. This has created a set of messy rules that threaten local jobs and do more harm than good for real recycling efforts.
New Yorkers are already stretched thin, and the last thing we need is a policy that punishes everyday shoppers and makes it even harder to get by.
Sign this petition and tell our leaders to reject this packaging mandate and keep New York affordable.
