Tonight The Dragonfly Club attended the public hearing on new 1,4 Dioxane rules. Katie Schoenfelder Gumerson shared a public comment, demanding real action and accountability from upstream polluters. The 1,4 Dioxane problem in North Carolina is the worst in the entire country. It’s a likely human carcinogen, which means it causes cancer. And the proposed new rules do not regulate this forever chemical in any way that will positively impact our health. So we asked for transparency to know what is in our water. We asked for polluter accountability. We asked for urgency. Please become informed about what is happening in your area with your water! It’s never too late.
Tonight, even our 8 year old founder, GG, made an impact by going to the meeting, listening, and learning what is happening right here in our town! You can too!
