The Problem

PFAS, dubbed the \\\"forever chemical\\\", are put in so many every day items, but are extremely harmful to our health and the health of other animals and the environment. However, most people are not aware of the extent of the harm it causes or how to make decisions to best protect themselves and their communities.

Our Plan

Education is a super important first step to raising awareness and empowering people to make a change. We will be making a PFAS lesson plan that people can distribute in their communities that gives people the facts and the science behind PFAS.
