‘Every day is Earth Day in our office,’ says AG James in a pledge to protect NY’s environment
In observance of Earth Day 2024, Attorney General Letitia James highlighted the efforts of her office to bolster environmental and public health protections in New York.
Over her tenure, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has recovered more than $28.5 million through actions enforcing environmental laws, a testament to the state’s aggressive stance against pollution and other harmful practices.
“Throughout my career, I have always fought to protect our environment because this planet belongs to all of us,” said Attorney General James. “Earth Day is every day in this office, and we cannot separate caring for the environment from caring for New Yorkers, their families and the places they call home. That is why I continue to prioritize an equity-focused approach to our environmental and public health work, to protect our people, our places, and our entire planet.
