Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this introduction to "forever chemicals" aka PFAs. A year ago, I didn't know these chemicals existed, let alone existed in my body. I'd love to get more people talking about this, so if you find this video relevant or helpful at all, please consider sharing it with a loved one--or even a local policy maker.

Appreciate you all,
Robin
