Communities devastated by PFAS have united to oppose the Senate permitting bill.

A foreign government poisoning our tap water is called a terrorist attack. A corporation doing the same thing is called the cost of doing business. Both are wrong. Sanction the polluters. Consider it an act of war on the American people.

Sharing experiences of #PFAS contamination in Cape Fear, Emily Donovan of @CleanCapeFear highlights that the science the community has is "out of necessity", not because polluters shared their science with the public, but because victims and researchers have demanded for it.

Underscoring the depth and breadth of what #RightToScience can bring, moderator Yves Lador of @Earthjustice highlighted the importance of looking beyond top-down approaches to science and recognizing the knowledge and evidence held by communities on the ground.

"Science can help understand, monitor & measure changes in the environment & human bodies, but it's not the solutions itself. Solutions come from an approach that takes environmental stewardship, where participation and representation matter."

NC is hog country. The Cape Fear River provides drinking water for 1.5M ppl + a PFAS sacrifice zone since 1980.
Our pigs are probably marinating in it. See NC's PFAS failures in contaminated pigs v NJ actions.

The US Army Corps of Engineers basically said approve the project, then we'll test for #PFAS; and, we don't have any guidelines on what to do when we find PFAS in sediment. <---NOT TRUE! 1/

If PFOA or PFOS are found in sediment:
✔️EPA can intervene
✔️Dredging can be altered or restricted
✔️Disposal options become legally constrained
✔️Liability risk explodes
✔️States gain leverage
✔️“We’ll deal with it later” is not defensible 3/

So when the US Army Corp. of Engineers say: “Even if PFAS were found, it’s unclear what could be done”
That's a half truth. It's misdirection and downplaying the legal consequences.
PS: Caswell Beach--y'all need to educate your mayor better. 🤣🤣🤣 4/4

BEAUTIFUL short video about #PFAS. I love my @KEEN hiking boots - PFAS free, and so comfortable.
Thank you for this gorgeous video.

Today is the day! After eight long years, They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals is out. 1/ @CrownPublishing #PFAS

Almost 8 yrs into this fight and we still don’t have federal or state discharge protections for PFAS. Biden failed to finalize EPA’s proposed PFAS ELGs and Trump’s EPA removed the proposal from OMB. 🫠

#NorthCarolina stands to lose $5.34 BILLION in economic activity supported by @NIH.
