Governor Paterson and the New York State Legislature did a very green thing this year.

Lawmakers passed a budget that updates the state's bottle deposit law and restores the Environmental Protection Fund. 

Please take a moment to thank your representatives in Albany for these environmental victories.

Last week, the State Legislature passed what amounts to a green budget during this fiscal crisis. And by updating the bottle deposit law to match consumer trends, keeping the Environmental Protection Fund up and running, and making polluters pay to foul our air and water, New York is taking positive steps to protect our natural resources during hard times.  

Take a moment to thank state leaders for giving every New Yorker who cares about our air, land and water a reason to celebrate this budget season.
