Sustainability Email Challenge: PFAs

Advocate for Change

Reducing personal exposure is important, but lasting change requires collective action. Here are ways you can help create a PFAS-free future:

1. Support Advocacy Efforts:
   • Join environmental organizations working to regulate PFAS and clean up contamination.
2. Contact Policymakers:
   • Write to your local, state, or federal representatives to advocate for stricter PFAS regulations.
3. Raise Awareness:
   • Share what you’ve learned with friends, family, or on social media to educate others about PFAS.
4. Engage Locally:
   • Attend community meetings, join local sustainability initiatives, or volunteer with environmental groups addressing PFAS.
