This is profoundly good advice. Thank you, nickwitha_k.
What a thoughtful and heartbreaking piece. In many ways, your thoughts echo my own.
Thank you for sharing this.

Although it's encouraging to see industry being forced to respond responsibly to PFAS clean-up efforts, $10.3 billion is a drop in the bucket.
