Location: Sims Municipal Recycling 472 2nd Avenue 29th Street Pier Brooklyn, NY 11232 The Center on Global Energy Policy’s Women in Energy is organizing a tour of the Sunset Park Materials Recovery Facility which is operated by Sims Municipal Recycling (SMR). In 2013, SMR opened its state-of-the-art materials recovery facility in Brooklyn – a facility that processes the largest volume of metal, glass and plastic in North America. About 1000 tons a day! Sims also features the largest solar panel array in Brooklyn, the only industrial size wind turbine in the city, and other sustainable features like bio swales to filter storm water runoff, oyster cages and mussel ropes. This is a unique opportunity to visit the facility and to gain an understanding of its operations and energy usage. Attire: Closed toed shoes and long sleeves are recommended. Transportation will not be provided. This facility is located a little over an hour from the Columbia University campus via the subway so please plan accordingly and allot for sufficient travel time.

Last month, the Trump administration imposed fresh sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, signaling a renewed desire to drive Moscow to the negotiating table in its war against Ukraine. But although these measures have the potential to harm the Russian economy, just how much damage they inflict will depend largely on one actor: Beijing. China bought almost half the oil Russia exported in 2024, evading Washington’s existing restrictions in the process. And new sanctions alone will do little to push China into significantly reducing its purchases.
Connecticut needs an honest debate, and fresh thinking, to shape a climate strategy fit for today, not 2022.
