The notion that the 2023 legislative session would produce blockbuster policies to help the state address climate change or other major environmental and energy issues was largely downplayed from the start.

Getting food waste more euphemistically, organics out of the waste stream won’t solve the state’s waste disposal problems, but it’s widely recognized those problems won’t be solved without doing that.
