Justin Wood from NYLPI calling on the council to prioritize investment in climate justice by allocating funding for Commercial Waste Zone implementation and to expand organics collection

Support w/ stated caveats, regarding CWZ rules: 1. NYC Sanitation should allow organics collection from non 'designated covered establishments' 2. Encourage carters to support local organics diversion, not just traditional paths 3.Banning organics from incinerators & landfill
