Senator Kavanagh spoke with Executive Director of Clean and Healthy New York, Kathy Curtis, in celebration of Earth Day. 

“In the middle of this COVID crisis, I think [Earth Day] takes on a particular meaning, as we’re facing tremendous challenges and really tremendous tragedy, particularly here in New York, we are also seeing people come together and recognize that any great challenge requires [that] everybody work together-- it’s bringing out the best in a lot of people.  And of course, like some of our environmental challenges, COVID is a global challenge and needs global cooperation so I think it’s a very good day to remind ourselves of that and to remind ourselves that beyond this particular crisis, the environmental crisis also is of huge consequence to all of us.” --Senator Brian Kavanagh
