PFAS (F.A.M / Whitfield Council)
Good afternoon everyone, Monday F.A.M along with Whitfield County Rural Council hosted another yet educational and extremely insightful screening and post panel Q&A with the community over the current PFAS contamination in Whitfield County, Dalton.
Every time I attend one of these events, not only do I learned something new that I didn’t last time, but I always find myself running into locals who have become more informed on the situation and we can discuss broader plans that go up to the capitol as well.
I want to congratulate Healthier Georgia, Healthier Families for hosting one of their first panel, Q&A’s and killing it as well. I look forward to working with this group specifically to bring back to Dalton since they are based in Rome to help in my future endeavors to educate the community one day at a time. There is a lot of legislation and red tape around why this has not been acknowledged and why it is a consistent issue in our community, but I feel in the end for our children and the future of this county we will succeed.
The large settings and even in the small settings are still settings that allow information and education to flow through the community to allow them the ability to be informed which then leads to action.
They have a saying it goes
“What is the best way to eat an elephant? Well, it’s one bite at a time!”
