There exists a
poison so powerful, it can't be broken down. Dubbed "the
forever chemical," it's present in the blood of nearly every
person in the U.S. — it's even found in mothers' wombs and
newborn babies. And, on top of everything else, a leading
Harvard researcher says this toxin may actually reduce the
effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19, which is
terrifying. This chemical is called PFOA and it's
produced by mega-corporation DuPont. One of the reasons it's seeped into our
waterways with barely any governmental oversight is because of
a man named Michael McCabe.
Right around the time when
DuPont dumped tons of PFOA-laden waste that poisoned the
people of West Virginia and resulted in devastating illnesses,
it hired McCabe to improve its image. That was decades ago.
Now, he's lined up a new job: working for President-Elect Joe
Biden as he creates a transition board for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But as Erin Brockovich,
the famed environmental justice lawyer, writes: "It should go
without saying that someone who advised DuPont on how to
avoid regulations is not someone we want
advising this new administration." Tell Joe Biden to dump Michael McCabe and to
assemble a team of scientists and true eco-champions
instead!
Thank you for all that you do,

P.S. Joe Biden
says he wants to prioritize our health and environment. So why
is he hiring an industry insider who helped polluters avoid
regulation? Sign the petition! |
