Are ‘#ForeverChemicals’ In Your Favorite Sparkling Water? Here’s What to Know

"Bottled and canned water is often considered a healthier or safer option, thanks to purification and processing. But that may not necessarily be the case. In 2020, Consumer Reports ran a study to determine PFAS levels in 47 bottled waters, including 35 noncarbonated and 12 carbonated samples. Many of the carbonated waters had PFAS in them."

So we know 1.5 is dead at this point. But why is it dead?

Take a look at the chart below of 40 leading nations and how each of them have done so far in meeting their climate commitments.

Nobody, not one nation, is on track to do what they promised. All we ever get is more Business As Usual.
