Add your name as a citizen cosponsor of the Green New Deal!   New York’s Green New Deal includes the following proposals: 100% clean power by 2040 — the most aggressive goal of any state in the country Quadrupling New York’s offshore wind commitment to 9,000 megawatts by 2035 Doubling distributed solar deployment to 6,000 megawatts by 2025 Delivering climate justice to underserved communities Expanding the Bottle Bill (5¢ deposit on bottles) to include most nonalcoholic drinks Banning plastic bags Voice your support and become a cosponsor of the Green New Deal.   Climate change is a reality, and the consequences of delay are unacceptable.   We know what we must do. Now we need the vision, the courage, and the competence to get it done.   Ever Upward,   Governor Andrew M. Cuomo Copyright © 2019 State of New York, All rights reserved.
