    Glad to see PFAS got some airtime, been working on their removal and destruction in water since 2019 for my PhD. Now leading the tech development in a PFAS destruction startup (toot toot). What you mentioned really is just the tip of the iceberg, if you wanna discuss lmk always happy to spread the PFAS word

    As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind
    1. Have a long term mindset.
    2. Be willing to take risk.
    3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
    4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.

    27 wells in Courtland Township, Michigan are contaminated, 10 exceeding state PFAS limits. Dating back to 1963, the campus housed a Wolverine shoe factory, potentially leading to undisclosed contamination. Michigan EGLE officials are investigating its ties to the tannery's 3M Scotchgard use.

I’ve been very blessed to have parents that worked in allopathic medicine, specifically the emergency room for 25 years and then became Holistic medical professionals for the past 15 years. My mom is a nurse and dad is a doctor. I love your optimism but the harsh reality is that the gov has known about it and has placed profits above health safety. Great episode. I have several health products that I’ve made but give them away to friends and family. A lot of Americans aren’t willing to pay high prices for premium products.

    I love the facade of commitment by these large corporations that say they won’t have the chemical in their products by X year. History repeats itself. This has been done for decades. They replace that chemical with another one that people aren’t yet informed of the dangers. That buys the companies 10-20 years plus of deceiving consumers….once again.
