SUMMARY:Ensure Safe Drinking Water in Your Municipality: A webinar about PFAS
DESCRIPTION:Move Past Plastic\, MPP\, would like to invite you to a program developed to help municipalities find out if their drinking water is safe from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination.

PFAS are a persistent\, “Forever” chemical found in 99% of all American’s blood and pose significant health risks to the environment and the health of people. \nIn addition to a presentation about PFAS\, we will introduce you to a Toolkit that will help you notify your municipal governing leaders and water specialist to engage them in PFAS education and request the municipality tests for PFAS in their drinking water and wastewater. \nThis Virtual Program will be held on:   \nTuesday\, March 1st\, 7-8 pm. \nWednesday March 2nd\, 12-1pm. \nThursday\, March 3rd\, 7-8 pm. \n(Select one date and time) Register

Trash is a water quality issue\, yet it is rarely treated as such. Who wants to swim\, paddle\, fish\, or live near a waterway lined with trash? The Clean Water Act protects against water pollution – and trash pollution should be no exception. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll hear from local groups who are putting their trash monitoring data to action by highlighting trash hotspots\, categorizing types of trash\, identify patterns\, and advocating for change and protections to their waterways. Join us and learn how you too can use trash data and the Clean Water Act to take action! \nSpeakers: \nEllen Kohler\, The Water Center at the University of Pennsylvania \nMartha Narvaez\, University of Delaware’s Water Resources Center \nChristian Murphy\, Bronx River Alliance \nRosana Da Silva\, Hudson River Foundation \nKarla Noboa\, River Network
