Brittany and Kate, 

Sharing with permission! 

Let me know if you want to add this to your list! 

AND, I thought I had got Envirovoters staff to add you to the Green California mailing list, but it doesn’t look like they did it. I’ll try again tomorrow. 

Thanks,
Janet

Friends:


Since California grows over half of the nation’s produce, these findings suggest that Californians and families across the United States are regularly exposed to PFAS pesticides in their food. These findings also raise serious concerns around environmental and health-related harms associated with such broad PFAS pesticide applications.

AB 1603 (Schultz) will phase out PFAS pesticides and require transparency regarding their use while they are still allowed. EWG, Californians for Pesticide Reform, PAAN, and CEH are cosponsors.


Deadline to sign on is Monday, April 6th.

Thank you!

Sounds like a good bill but isn't out of our plastics scope?  Thanks Lisa

Plastics yes, but it seems like right in line with Toxins. Either way, it doesn't have to come from the Plastics/Toxins team if another CAC Team would like to sign on.
