All men and women are invited to join us for dinner and a discussion on WATER-what’s in our water anyway?
Dr. Robert Wingfield, Jr. (Dorothy’s brother,) will join us via zoom to talk about his work as Director of Fisk University’s Environmental Toxics Awareness and Sustainability Program. The goal of that program is to increase community capacity to reduce exposure to toxins and build healthier communities.
While we hear about places like Flint Michigan in the news, water supplies are negatively impacted by agricultural, corporate and personal activities everywhere. In fact, the Nyanza Chemical Waste site in Ashland was one of the first superfund sites in the US. And local lakes currently have measurable levels of mercury and PFAs.
Lets talk about the challenges and see what we can do to make a difference.
