@MLW_PAC is putting out false information about MN candidates. Don't be fooled - @MNfromMN @RepWolgamott and the entire DFL party voted in SUPPORT of #PFAS legislation. We're standing up to false information meant to spread lies to voters.

Thank you to the Strande family, the tireless health and environment advocates, and the House and Senate members who worked so hard to make MN a world leader in the fight for clean water. #mnleg

Minnesotans, we need your help. Pls email your state Senator now to ask them to reject a dramatically weakened bill that would lock in MN's reliance on single-use plastics. actionnetwork.org/letters/mn… @founghawj

Today in #mnleg: @reprickhansen puts forward "a personal responsibility proposal" to address the drinking crisis in Southern MN caused by nitrogen fertilizer runoff. A fertilizer fee would pay for drinking water assistance instead of costs being paid by the average taxpayer

NOW: Hearing on HF 4135 (@reprickhansen) which establishes a permanent fertilizer fee to pay for county health boards to address nitrate pollution in wells.
MCEA strongly supports this bill.

PFAS are used in thousands of products aimed at making life easier. But the chemicals are now almost everywhere, including in human blood, and have been linked to severe health problems.

"We've asked for EPA involvement across the disjointed landscape of agencies involved in protecting drinking water ... Immediate relief is needed for people who are drinking polluted water now, through no fault of their own." - Carly Griffith, MCEA Water Director #mnleg

Why brands shouldn't claim 100% bottle recyclability?
1) The bottle cap and ring are made of different hard plastic materials including high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). Even before consumption the cap and ring are often thrown away.
