Earlier in the week, we’re partnering with the World Water Film Festival to screen How to Poison a Planet, an award-winning documentary that exposes the global impact of PFAS contamination. Free tickets are available here!

Following the screening, Alaina from our team will be moderating a solutions-focused panel featuring:

  • Rob Bilott, environmental attorney who first exposed PFAS contamination

  • Gary Douglas and Rebecca Newman, lead counsel in the 3M PFAS settlement

  • Dr. Junhong Chen, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory

  • Michael Strande, father of late activist Amara Strande, who is featured in the documentary

  • Mark Ruffalo (virtually), if his schedule allows. We hope to know this week if he’s able to participate!
