⚖️#DTSC orders Home Depot to comply with #California’s lead-acid battery recycling laws after repeated violations involving fees, deposits & battery returns. These safeguards help prevent toxic pollution & protect consumers. 🔗 dtsc.ca.gov/2026/10/30/dtsc-… #dtscCleansUpCalifornia

Illegal dumping is scarier than any zombie! A mattress left in an alley or on the side of the road costs local governments time and money to clean up. Bye Bye Mattress gives residents an easy alternative, with drop-off locations that send old mattresses to recycling instead of landfills. Happy Halloween! #MattressRecycling #IllegalDumping #ByeByeMattress #Sustainability #Halloween

🌊 King Tides are continuing to impact California’s coastline through Friday, with coastal flooding already reported across the state. As El Niño impacts continue, coastal communities should stay alert and prepare for changing conditions. ⚠️ Cal OES urges residents and visitors to: - Stay out of the water and away from dangerous surf. - Never drive around barricades or through flooded roads. - Avoid flooded areas and never enter water of unknown depth. - Monitor local advisories and take precautions to protect people and property. Stay informed and check the latest forecasts and warnings at weather.gov.

🔥 What makes aerosol cans a fire risk? Many aerosol cans use flammable gases like propane or butane to push the product out. These cans under pressure w/ heat & flames can create a dangerous combo. Safely store & dispose of yours: dtsc.ca.gov/aerosol-can-wast… #FirePreventionMonth

🌧️Rain is in the forecast for much of California Wednesday and Thursday according to @NWS, bringing the potential for mudslides and debris flows, especially near recent burn scars.

The State Water Board took conservation actions that helped California’s residential and commercial properties save 25% more water during the 2012-16 extreme drought than had ever been saved before.  Now 18% of that water conservation remains even without a drought.

🙌🏼 State Parks to the rescue! 🦨 This skunk got its head stuck inside a plastic bottle at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park this past weekend. Luckily, staff were able to safely remove it and they didn’t get sprayed!

CA & France are teaming up to fight climate change, signing a partnership to collaborate on clean energy, wildfire prevention, biodiversity protection & so much more. Global collective climate action means we can build a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
Great to meet with French Ecological Minister Monique Barbut and sign a new climate partnership to build on our existing cooperation and collaborate on climate mitigation strategies, extreme heat and wildfire resilience, access to clean water, and more. California is proud to work with France to tackle climate change and advance a green, climate-smart economy.
