DENVER (August 3, 2018) — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the full agenda for the two-day per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) community engagement in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Hotel Eleganté Conference & Event Center. Following the historic National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. in May and Community Engagement events in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, this event allows EPA to hear directly from Colorado communities, Mountain West states, and local and tribal partners about their experiences with PFAS.
“It is critical that EPA hear from Colorado communities about their experiences with PFAS,” said EPA Regional Administrator Doug Benevento. “The development of a National PFAS management plan would not be complete without that input – we are here to listen.”
“This listening session and workshop provide an important opportunity for the EPA to hear from the community about their experiences with water contaminated by PFAS,” said Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO). “I am hopeful this community engagement will help inform the agency’s administrative actions concerning contaminant levels and clean-up standards, and I appreciate the EPA choosing the communities around Peterson Air Force Base as ones they want to hear from.”
“Ensuring that our communities have safe drinking water is one of my top priorities. I am pleased the EPA is listening to and working with our local communities who may be affected by PFOS/PFOA exposure. I will continue to help facilitate coordination like this between local and federal authorities,” said Rep. Doug Lamborn (CO-05).
Additional details will be posted on the PFAS Community Engagement Website.
Both days are open to the public and the press. If you are interested in attending the event, walk-in registration is available and welcome to all. Those interested in speaking can sign up when registering.
Please check back at the PFAS Community Engagement website for further information leading up to the event. Citizens are also encouraged to submit written statements to the public docket at https://www.regulations.gov/ enter docket number: OW-2018-0270.
Addressing PFAS is a national priority. At the National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. in May, EPA announced a four-step action plan:
Background
PFAS is a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in everyday products since the 1940s. But PFAS compounds also can enter the environment, raising concerns about the potential environmental and health risks.
EPA conducted similar engagements in New Hampshire in June, Pennsylvania in July, and will be headed to North Carolina in August. These community engagement events are critical to understand ways the Agency can best support the work that’s being done at the state, local, and tribal levels. Using information from the National Leadership Summit, community engagements, and public input provided by the docket, EPA plans to develop a PFAS Management Plan for release later this year.

Book gives insights about the Bible, biblical prophecies, Christian history and theology
EDMONTON, Alberta — According to Leo Kappa, when he joined the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he encountered prejudice, opposition and sometimes hostility against it from other Christians. Knowing Jesus' love for all true believers, he felt a compelling desire to somehow show them the truth and it prompted Kappa to write “By the Gift and Power of God: The Last Dispensation” (published by Balboa Press).
The book has a lot to say about the Bible, biblical prophecies and Christian history and theology. All is presented in a way that ordinary Christians can see for themselves is highly supportive of the Book of Mormon being the word of God, and of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints being the most Christian church of all.
“This book presents information to Christians that they have not adequately been informed about, and mainly from sources that they themselves accept as authoritative — information that is of vital importance to their spiritual life,” Kappa says.
“By the Gift and Power of God: The Last Dispensation” aims for readers to see what Jesus has done for them and for all of Christianity in these last days, open their eyes to what they have been blinded to because the gift spoken of will prove to be their blessing or their curse, depending on how they respond to it.

What’s more convenient than grabbing a paper towel after you have a spill?
Fact is, most people use paper towels to wipe down kitchen surfaces or clean up spills daily. However, did you know that every paper towel we've been using has been poisoning the environment?!
It's true...not only are nasty chemicals used in creating that piece of white paper towel, but trees are killed, environment destroyed, and more waste ends up in landfills too, producing more methane into our atmosphere...and NONE of that is a good thing for us or the planet :(
So, in our household, we STOPPED buying paper towels, and we just started using this "magic" towel instead
These "Magic" Towels make it so:
* You NEVER need to buy another paper towel again!
* You NEVER need to buy household cleaners again!
* AND... these magic towels can absorb up to 10 ounces of liquid without a single drip!
It's really quite impressive which is why you should check this out:
