Your article was so informative. I want EVERYONE to read it. I’m amazed how much I didn’t know…thank you for opening our eyes.

The plastics industry consumes a lot of PFAS chemicals. Limiting plastic production is necessary to tackle this complex issue. Check out my post and substack to learn more https://onedegreeapart.substack.com/p/production-caps-on-plastics-are-overdue

Rooting for you in your treatment, Emily! Thank you so much for the value you provide to the EYP community. These environmental regulations were not on my radar. I completely agree with your point that we elect administrations--not just singular elected office-holders. It's so important that we vote for, and talk about (!!!!) the policies of an administration as a whole.

This really is BIG environmental news, but the impact on cleaning up the water isn’t something that is outwardly noticeable for people. Some people don’t care, until something bad happens to them, and then they ask, “How did this happen to me or my family member or friend?”

Emily I'm so sorry about the diagnosis. I can't imagine how scary that must have been to hear. I'm happy to hear you're getting the care you need and happy at your positive and confident outlook.
