EPA Proposes Restricting “Forever Chemicals” in Drinking Water

The US Environmental Protection Agency announced a proposal to limit hazardous chemical, polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), aka “forever chemicals” in drinking water. These chemicals are used in non-stick surfaces and being resistant to oil and water are hard to break down. This is something my region of coastal North Carolina has been fighting for years. Here’s more from AXIOS.

People Live Longer in Countries with Gender Equality

A study of 156 countries showed a correlation between gender equality and longevity for both women and men. The biggest connection showed up in the area of education. While this may not be a surprise, it’s good to have the published research. NPR has details HERE.

  1. Wow, lots of heroes in these articles. Great!

  2. Hi JoAnna, these are all great stories. The one about the Ukrainian windfarm is quite incredible, given the challenges this country has been facing.

  3. As usual, you have chosen many great stories and heroes for Good News Tuesday. The “Forever Chemicals” and Gender Equality are perhaps my top two today.

    • Thanks, Rose. I’m very glad you liked the good news stories. People in my city and region have been fighting the PFAS chemicals for years, so this is an affirmation along with the research connecting gender equality and long life. We are making progress in some ways at least.

  4. Especially loved the story of the child rescue 🙂

  5. Thanks for sharing this idea of the child rescue. Anita
