        <div class="body-description"><p style="">
	As some of the nation's largest <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/fossil-fuels">crude</a> processors and refineries shut down their facilities amid "
	<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/hurricane-harvey-flooding-2478623393.html">unprecedented</a>" rainfall and flooding from <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-harvey">Harvey</a>, residents nearby are reporting noxious, gaseous smells clouding the air.
</p><p style="">
	"I've been smelling them all night and off and on this morning," Bryan Parras, from the environmental justice group 
	<a href="http://tejasbarrios.org/" target="_blank">TEJAS</a>, told <a href="https://newrepublic.com/minutes/144487/unbearable-petrochemical-smells-reportedly-drifting-houston" target="_blank">New Republic</a> on Sunday.
</p><hr><p style="">
	Some locals are also experiencing "headaches, sore throat, scratchy throat and itchy eyes," Parras added.
</p><p style="">Paris said that the chemical-like smells emanate from Houston's East End and are particularly strong in communities nearby the petrochemical plants. Problem is, the fence-line community cannot leave or evacuate as they are surrounded by devastating flooding, "so they are literally getting gassed by these chemicals," he said.
</p><p style="">
<span></span>The source of the smell is likely caused by the abrupt shutdown of <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/exxonmobil">ExxonMobil</a>, Petrobras, Shell, Chevron Phillips and other petrochemical facilities in the wake of Harvey's historic flooding, reports suggest.
</p><p>
	A 2012 <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/texas-refineries-and-chemical-plants-releasing-tens-thousands-tons-pollution" target="_blank">analysis</a> from the <a href="https://www.environmentalintegrity.org/" target="_blank">Environmental Integrity Project</a> found that "upsets or sudden shutdowns can release large plumes of sulfur dioxide or toxic chemicals in just a few hours, exposing downwind communities to peak levels of pollution that are much more likely to trigger asthma attacks and other respiratory systems."
</p><p>
<a href="http://www2.tceq.texas.gov/oce/eer/index.cfm?fuseaction=main.dispatchSearch&amp;startmonth=8&amp;startday=23&amp;startyear=2017&amp;endmonth=8&amp;endday=28&amp;endyear=2017&amp;county=&amp;ctyorreg=region&amp;region=12&amp;doit=Submit" target="_blank">Initial reports</a> from Texas regulators indicate that more than 1 million pounds of harmful air pollution have been released into the air due to the closures, the <a href="https://www.edf.org/" target="_blank">Environmental Defense Fund</a> noted in a <a href="https://www.edf.org/media/toxic-air-pollution-one-harveys-unseen-dangers" target="_blank">blog post</a>.  
</p><p>
	Furthermore, Chevron Phillips has already <a href="http://www2.tceq.texas.gov/oce/eer/index.cfm?fuseaction=main.getDetails&amp;target=266261" target="_blank">reported to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality</a> (TCEQ) that it expects to exceed permitted limits for pollutants such as 1,3-butadiene, benzene and ethylene during shutdown procedures.
</p><p>
<span></span>"Air pollution is one of the unseen dangers of the storm," said EDF senior health scientist Dr. Elena Craft. "Poor air quality puts the most vulnerable among us, like children and seniors, at risk for asthma, heart attacks, strokes and other health problems."
</p><p>Meanwhile, TCEQ has shuttered its air quality monitors in the Houston area to avoid water and wind damage from the storm, which leaves these plants and refineries to the "honor system" to report whatever gets emitted, the <a href="http://www.houstonpress.com/news/houston-ship-channel-communities-deal-with-weird-smell-during-harvey-9741373" target="_blank">Houston Press</a> points out.</p><p><span></span>Manchester resident Nayeli Olmos, who lives close to a Valero Refinery, noticed gas-like smells Saturday night when she stepped outside her house. 
</p><p>
	"We figured it would go away on its own, but this morning it was still here, and it feels like whenever it rains the odor gets stronger," Olmos told Houston Press. "Our neighbors were all talking about it and then I saw people from different neighborhoods talking about it on social media. That's when I realized it's not just us this time. It's all over East Houston."
</p><p>
	Stephanie Thomas, from the nonprofit Public Citizen, also told the publication that the air "smelled like burnt rubber with a hint of something metallic thrown in" in the Second Ward near downtown Houston.

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The impacts of such a shutdown will be devastating. Citizens will have to wait in &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.cbn.co.za/news/this-will-happen-when-cape-town-hits-day-zero&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;long lines&lt;/a&gt; at state-managed distribution points to receive a mere 25 liters of water per day, less than half the water needed for one &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-15836433&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;average shower&lt;/a&gt;. Experts are already warning of public health concerns like poor sanitation leading to &lt;a href=&#34;https://qz.com/1200949/cape-town-water-crisis-poses-risk-to-public-health/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;faster spreading of dangerous diseases&lt;/a&gt;, especially for the city&#39;s poorest residents, and forecasting that &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-01134-x&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;pipes&lt;/a&gt; may crack from dry conditions, endangering future water distribution if and when the drought ends. The Western Cape Premier has &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2018-01-22-from-the-inside-the-countdown-to-day-zero/#.WnjH_-jwbcu&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;warned&lt;/a&gt; that &#34;normal policing will be entirely inadequate&#34; to manage the chaos that could ensue. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Although this instance is one of the most extreme, Cape Town is not the only city to suffer from intense water scarcity in recent years. From &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.wri.org/blog/2014/11/3-maps-help-explain-s%C3%A3o-paulo-brazil%E2%80%99s-water-crisis&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;São Paulo&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/01/los-angeles-california-drought-shaming&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;, cities around the world have made headlines due to severe &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/droughts&#34;&gt;droughts&lt;/a&gt; intensified by &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/&#34;&gt;climate change&lt;/a&gt; and exacerbated by poor water management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it doesn&#39;t have to be this way. Here are three steps cities around the world should take to boost water security and resilience:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Understand Risks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Many cities are experiencing growing water risks. Climate change is &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.wri.org/blog/2016/07/clouds-head-poles-time-prepare-food-and-water-shocks&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;shifting cloud patterns&lt;/a&gt; and the hydrologic cycle in certain regions, making rainfall more variable and droughts more common and intense. At the same time, the world&#39;s cities are growing at a rate of &lt;a href=&#34;https://unhabitat.org/books/state-of-the-worlds-cities-20082009-harmonious-cities-2/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;3 million people per week&lt;/a&gt;, increasing competition over scarce resources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Each city has unique risks it must be aware of. For example, Cape Town has medium-to-high inter-annual variability, meaning precipitation varies greatly from year to year. Although Cape Town has suffered droughts in the past, wet years usually follow, &lt;a href=&#34;https://theconversation.com/cape-towns-water-crisis-driven-by-politics-more-than-drought-88191&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;refilling reservoirs&lt;/a&gt; that supply the city with almost all of its water. But during the current record drought, reservoir levels have fallen to &lt;a href=&#34;https://af.reuters.com/article/commodities07News/idAFL8N1PJ1K5&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;25 percent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;AYD6AE1518715292&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;7440c&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17242846/980x.png&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;In addition, Cape Town has extremely high water stress, which means that the water demands of its population—which has &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.latimes.com/world/africa/la-fg-south-africa-water-crisis-20180119-story.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;doubled&lt;/a&gt; in the past 18 years—are competing for the available water supply with other users. While city officials were &lt;a href=&#34;https://theconversation.com/cape-towns-water-crisis-driven-by-politics-more-than-drought-88191&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;aware&lt;/a&gt; of these risks and took steps to mitigate them, they did not anticipate rainfall patterns departing so significantly from the norm to culminate in record drought.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;PUVY261518715292&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;dcf9d&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17242752/980x.png&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Amidst rapidly changing landscapes, cities like Cape Town must carefully measure and forecast the impacts of climate change, population growth and competing demands on their water systems. Tools like&lt;a href=&#34;file:///C:/Users/leah.schleifer/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/GBXCQ3BI/aqueduct.wri.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt; Aqueduct&lt;/a&gt; and The Nature Conservancy&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;http://water.nature.org/waterblueprint/#/intro=true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Urban Water Blueprint&lt;/a&gt; can help map the bigger picture, but risks will differ by watershed. Each city must ultimately assess its unique water risks and plan accordingly.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Manage Your Water Budget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Cities have finite water resources, whether sourced from nearby watersheds, dams or pumped directly from underground. Where the water originates from differs by location—oftentimes a diverse set of users, such as power plants, farms and homes, compete for this same water. It&#39;s a city&#39;s job to manage its own water budget in the context of this broader landscape, understanding sources and uses, and allocating resources within these realities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Water management becomes even more difficult in times of drought. For example, as the Western Cape&#39;s reservoirs began to dry in 2015 and 2016, the national government &lt;a href=&#34;https://theconversation.com/cape-towns-water-crisis-driven-by-politics-more-than-drought-88191&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;allocated 40 percent&lt;/a&gt; of the province&#39;s water to agriculture, leaving 60 percent to Cape Town. This controversial decision caused a great deal of debate in local politics, and is now seen as &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-saundersonmeyer-drought-commentary/commentary-in-drought-hit-south-africa-the-politics-of-water-idUSKBN1FP226&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;one of many culprits&lt;/a&gt; for the current crisis. This situation is common for many cities, but leaves them fighting with other sectors when water supplies decline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;One solution is &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.waterrf.org/resources/StateOfTheScienceReports/IntegratedUrbanWaterMgt_StateOfTheScience.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;for city planners and water utilities&lt;/a&gt; to undertake &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.gwp.org/globalassets/global/toolbox/publications/background-papers/16-integrated-urban-water-management-2012.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;proactive, integrated urban water management strategies&lt;/a&gt; that consider drinking water, wastewater and urban drainage (stormwater) more comprehensively, &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.switchurbanwater.eu/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;helping cities&lt;/a&gt; to build greater resilience and efficiency. This method also takes a holistic view of water sources and uses across a city, recognizing that the actions of every stakeholder impacts the others. Amid the nearly &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-g-california-drought-map-htmlstory.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;six-year&lt;/a&gt; California drought, the city of Los Angeles began developing a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.planningreport.com/2017/05/07/one-water-la-update-regions-progress-building-resilient-water-supply&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;One Water plan&lt;/a&gt; to better manage limited water resources, stave off the impacts of climate change, and slash the city&#39;s purchases of imported water by 50 percent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Invest in Resilience&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;To withstand a changing climate and growing populations, cities must be resilient to the unexpected. Identifying opportunities for rainwater harvesting, dams and underground storage, treating and reusing greywater and wastewater, and investing in water efficiency is key to boosting resilience to drought and increased water competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Cities should also look beyond their boundaries and invest in &#34;natural infrastructure&#34; for protection. Green spaces such as forests and wetlands &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.wri.org/blog/2017/03/3-surprising-ways-water-depends-healthy-forests&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;can act as a sponge&lt;/a&gt; by shielding cities from floods and storms and regulating flow during dry seasons. &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.wri.org/sites/default/files/wri13_report_4c_naturalinfrastructure_v2.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Research also shows&lt;/a&gt; that pairing natural infrastructure with traditional &#34;grey&#34; infrastructure like wastewater treatment plants can help cities create jobs, buffer against the impacts of climate change and save money on water treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inadequate built and natural infrastructure compounded the effects of São Paulo&#39;s 2014-2017 drought. The city lost more than &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-water/drought-ends-in-brazils-sao-paulo-but-future-still-uncertain-idUSKCN0VR1YJ&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;30 percent&lt;/a&gt; of treated water through theft and leaky pipes. Deforestation of the Amazon disrupted the &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/nov/28/sao-paulo-water-amazon-deforestation&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;rivers of the sky&lt;/a&gt;&#34; that regulate rainfall across Brazil, and loss of nearby Atlas forests also destroyed local water systems. São Paulo, Cape Town and other cities should consider &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.wri.org/blog/2017/12/amazons-important-southeast-brazils-water-companies-need-watch-forests-closer-home&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;natural infrastructure&lt;/a&gt; as one of many solutions for resilience to future water shocks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Call to Action for Cities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The situation in Cape Town is unique in many ways, but there are common threads that tie it to São Paulo, Los Angeles and cities around the world facing growing water risks. In the countdown to Day Zero, the South African national government and the City of Cape Town are &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.enca.com/south-africa/cape-towns-day-zero-moved-to-may&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;working hard&lt;/a&gt; to help residents avoid the drought&#39;s worst effects. But other cities should also use this moment as a warning—without better water risk measurement, management and resilience, the next Day Zero could be coming to your corner of the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

                <p style="">
<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/china-reforestation-project-2524893906.html">Earlier this year</a>, the Chinese government announced plans for a major <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/reforestation/">reforestation</a> project—growing 6.66 million hectares of new forests this year, an area roughly the size of Ireland.
</p><p style="">
	To achieve this goal, 
	<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/china/">China</a> has reassigned more than 60,000 soldiers to plant the trees. According to the <a href="http://www.atimes.com/article/china-re-assigning-60000-troops-plant-trees/" target="_blank">Asia Times</a>, a large regiment from the People's Liberation Army, along with some of the nation's armed police force, have been withdrawn from their posts near the northern border to work on the task.

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;

        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p style="">By Wenonah Hauter</p><p style="">We are choking the planet in <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/plastics">plastic</a>. Everything from wasteful water bottles to grocery shopping bags are polluting our waterways, and <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/microplastics-marine-life-2531600683.html">endangering marine life</a> and the natural environment. It's fair to say that even the most casual news consumer has probably encountered a Facebook post, TV report or radio segment about the garbage patches in the Pacific Ocean.</p>

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But what&#39;s less well-known is what is fueling this plastics binge: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/fracking/&#34;&gt;fracking&lt;/a&gt;. As the Guardian &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/dec/26/180bn-investment-in-plastic-factories-feeds-global-packaging-binge&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;recently reported&lt;/a&gt;, in less than a decade, tens of billions of dollars have been invested in creating new manufacturing sites around the world to turn fossil fuels into resin pellets used to manufacture plastic products. The companies profiting off this surge in plastics are contributing to a growing climate crisis while generating mountains of plastic garbage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;One company behind this plastics surge is the U.K.-based chemical company Ineos. While not a household name like Shell or Exxon, Ineos is at the center of this growing plastics industry—but the damage caused by the company extends beyond the mounds of discarded waste littering beaches and waterways. The company&#39;s 75 manufacturing facilities across 22 countries are responsible for chemical leaks, fires, explosions and air and climate pollution. This &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/news/awful-environmental-record-ineos-disqualifies-fracking-ambitions&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;record &lt;/a&gt;includes a 2008 &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ineos.com/news/ineos-group/fire-at-ineos-koln---precautionary-advice-lifted/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;chemical fire in Germany&lt;/a&gt; and air pollution in Scotland, where the company&#39;s Grangemouth facilities were the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15626151.Revealed__Scotland___s_worst_corporate_carbon_polluters/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;country&#39;s single largest emitter&lt;/a&gt; of carbon dioxide in 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;And the Ineos business model also relies on polluting communities thousands of miles away in Pennsylvania and Ohio, where the fracking industry is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ohio-fracking-lawsuit/conservationists-sue-to-halt-fracking-in-ohios-only-national-forest-idUSKBN17Y25O&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;scarring the &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://grist.org/climate-energy/frackers-are-chewing-up-pennsylvanian-forests/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;landscape&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/21/appalachia-ohio-fracking-wells-toxic&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;polluting &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/05/science/earth/fracking-chemicals-detected-in-pennsylvania-drinking-water.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;water&lt;/a&gt; and threatening &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2017/02/23/fracking-is-dangerous-to-your-health-heres-why/#72bf26985945&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;public&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.pennlive.com/news/2018/02/natural_gas_waste_water_radioa.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt;. The company uses the liquid gas found in the shale formations there to feed its chemical plants. To meet this demand, the company &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-37474396&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;recently built a fleet &lt;/a&gt;of so-called &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ineos.com/big-boats/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;dragon ships&lt;/a&gt;&#34; to carry volatile gas liquids across the Atlantic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;And Ineos wants to continue ramping up. After the first crossing of one of these liquid gas transport ships from the U.S. to the UK, the chairman of Ineos called the event a &#34;gamechanger&#34; that could &#34;spark a shale gas revolution,&#34; according to a company &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ineos.com/big-boats/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;news release&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Expanding this business will require new pipelines like the Mariner East 2, now under construction across Pennsylvania. The project belongs to Sunoco, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/dakota-access-pipeline&#34;&gt;Dakota Access Pipeline&lt;/a&gt; that generated international opposition. There is a movement to stop the Mariner East, too, in places across the state where residents have lost their land to Sunoco through the companies use of &lt;a href=&#34;https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2016/10/31/a-new-front-emerges-in-the-battle-against-eminent-domain/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;eminent domain&lt;/a&gt; and are being told &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.philly.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/Parents-protest-Mariner-Pipeline.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;that they must allow&lt;/a&gt; the pipeline to be built near their schools, homes, and community centers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Sunoco&#39;s safety record was a concern before the drilling started; since 2010, the company has had &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-pipeline-nativeamericans-safety-i/sunoco-behind-protested-dakota-pipeline-tops-u-s-crude-spill-charts-idUSKCN11T1UW&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a higher rate of oil pipeline spills&lt;/a&gt; than its competitors. And this record of spills continued once construction of the pipeline began. Dozens of drilling spills and accidents and several cases of tainted water supplies eventually forced &lt;a href=&#34;https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2018/01/03/dep-suspends-all-construction-on-mariner-east-2-pipeline/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;the state government to shut down the construction&lt;/a&gt; at the beginning of this year. Pennsylvania environmental regulators &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.apnews.com/850e83266b3c4b4193467e30769d3482/Pennsylvania-shuts-down-construction-on-Sunoco-gas-pipeline&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;deemed Sunoco&#39;s &#34;egregious and willful violations&#34;&lt;/a&gt; of environmental laws serious enough to apply the brakes on a project that had been rushed through the regulatory process by drilling-friendly politicians of both major parties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;On Feb. 8, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection &lt;a href=&#34;https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2018/02/08/sunoco-to-resume-work-pay-12-6-million-for-mariner-east-2-pipeline-violations/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;allowed construction of the pipeline to resume&lt;/a&gt;, after issuing a $12.6 million civil penalty against Sunoco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;While plastic junk floating in the oceans gets the headlines, the truth is that the entire business model wreaks havoc on communities and the planet—from the fracking wells in Pennsylvania and the pipelines that carry the materials in the U.S., to the air pollution from petrochemical plants producing plastics in the U.K.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Pennsylvania was right to hit the pause button on this fracking-for-plastics pipeline, but if we&#39;re to create a stable climate and a healthy planet for all, we need state legislators to stop construction altogether. And we need political leaders in Europe willing to stop fracking before it starts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt; &lt;em&gt;Reposted with permission from our media associate &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.yesmagazine.org/planet/we-are-drowning-in-plastic-and-fracking-companies-are-profiting-20180214&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;YES!

        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p>By Miranda Fox</p><p>The Swiss multinational Nestlé has been facing increasing scrutiny in Michigan. Outside of the small town of Evart, a mere 128 miles from Flint, Nestlé is attempting to increase how much spring water it is taking for <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/drinking-water">water</a> bottling. Nestlé submitted an application with Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) late last year to increase pumping from 250 to 400 gallons per minute at its White Pine Springs well No. 101 in Osceola County. However, local residents and Michiganders across the state came together in droves at the last <a href="http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2017/04/flint_water_crisis_casts_shado.html" target="_blank">public meeting</a> to speak out against Nestlé's proposal. More than 500 attended the meeting, and nearly everyone opposed the application.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;I spoke with Jim Maturen, a local police force retiree and avid trout fisherman, who rejected Nestlé&#39;s presence in his county when it first appeared in Michigan nearly 20 years ago. Jim served on the Osceola County Board of Commissioners at that time and continues to oppose Nestlé&#39;s water grab today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jim told me that, originally, Nestlé wanted to establish two well sites in the neighboring state of Wisconsin but the people in New Haven and Newport saw that they were on the receiving end of a raw deal. Nestlé ultimately got the boot thanks to citizen action and a lawsuit. And that&#39;s about the time Nestlé successfully approached city and county officials in Osceola and Mecosta Counties, Michigan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;93OXEQ1518715099&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;92ac3&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17210044/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jim recounted that the zoning laws weren&#39;t set up in a way that allowed his board to intervene, and they unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate with the company. The members tried to get &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/water&#34;&gt;water&lt;/a&gt; levels monitored by an independent group, a fund set aside to pay for any future damages, and a small percentage of the proceeds to support Evart. Nestlé refused.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jim reminded me that Nestlé&#39;s mode of operation is the same no matter where it goes: the corporation targets small, rural communities, promises that no one will see the effects of its water take, and claims to bring jobs. In spite of Nestlé&#39;s promises, the community does see the effects of Nestlé&#39;s water grab, and they don&#39;t like what they are seeing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Evart&#39;s zoning board recently &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2017/07/nestle_zoning_court_appeal.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;denied Nestlé&lt;/a&gt; the approval it sought for a critical piece of water pipeline infrastructure. This pipeline upgrade would allow more water to move from Nestlé&#39;s wellhead (the source) into production for its local bottled water brand: Ice Mountain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;SP67O41518715099&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;63d9d&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17210039/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company quickly appealed the zoning board&#39;s decision in court but then asked to put the case on hold pending the DEQ&#39;s decision regarding its application to increase pumping to 400 gallons/min. If the DEQ denies Nestlé&#39;s request to pump more water, the pipeline expansion would be unnecessary. This seems to indicate that Nestlé is no longer confident that its increased pumping permit is a sure thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Evart, Jim and other members of the community have taken it upon themselves to monitor the conditions of the environment surrounding Nestlé&#39;s well sites at Twin and Chippewa Creeks. What he&#39;s found spells trouble for the trout and the future of the entire creeks&#39; ecosystems. Trout require cold water temperatures, and with less spring water to cool the creek from the bottom up, Jim found that the water is nearing temperatures that will be too warm for trout if nothing changes soon. But Jim hasn&#39;t actually found any trout here this season anyway, probably because he could hardly find enough water to submerge his thermometer. Some areas of the creeks have less than four inches flowing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nestlé, as far as Jim&#39;s concerned, is killing the creek. And he&#39;s frustrated because the DEQ has been relying on computer modeling and Nestlé&#39;s internal reports of the creek&#39;s condition, when a site visit by any qualified biologist would reveal the lack of water, the warmth of water, and the near-total absence of fish. But, at the very least, public pressure is forcing the state of Michigan to take further action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;TQT5A31518715099&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;25b93&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17210037/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;

As a DEQ supervisor put it in his &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/deq-dwma-request-to-nestle-additional-info_6-21-17_576543_7.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;letter&lt;/a&gt;, the information provided by Nestlé is just plain insufficient.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While these victories may seem small, our collective citizen muscles are building a movement too powerful to ignore. People have come together, written letters, held town meetings, gone door-to-door, and are taking it upon themselves to protect their most important local resource: water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;This fall we will be releasing our next movie, all about the importance of clean, safe water. We&#39;re going to show the bigger story here: the struggle to protect and provide drinking water for all Michiganders, and really for all people. While Nestlé bottles spring water in Evart, thousands have lost access to tap water in nearby Flint and Detroit, ironically forced to rely on that very same bottled water from corporations like Nestlé, just to survive. It&#39;s time to speak out against the big-business politics that fuel water privatization, and make a bold claim for clean, safe public water for everyone, everywhere. &lt;a href=&#34;https://action.storyofstuff.org/donate/donate_water_movie_great_lakes&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Join us!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	With 
	<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/weather">weather</a> and <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change">climate</a> disasters becoming <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-disasters-2017-2523867732.html" target="_blank">more destructive and costlier</a> than ever, accurate and reliable weather forecasting is absolutely critical to protect life and property.
</p><p>
	However, President 
	<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch/">Trump</a>'s 2019 <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-budget-nrdc-2534572333.html">White House budget</a> proposes to cut <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/national-weather-service">National Weather Service</a> (NWS) funding by about 8 percent, a decrease of just over $75 million. It also proposes a reduction of 355 positions, including 248 forecasting jobs. <span></span>

                        &lt;p&gt;
	Last year, the U.S. experienced 16 weather and climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each, according to a January report from the National Centers for Environmental Information. The total estimated cost was $306 billion—a new U.S. annual record.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;
&lt;iframe class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;GTV3NF1518707395&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; id=&#34;twitter-embed-951069903607476224&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; src=&#34;/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-951069903607476224&amp;amp;created_ts=1515587709.0&amp;amp;screen_name=EcoWatch&amp;amp;text=2017+Weather+and+Climate+Disasters+Cost+U.S.+Record+%24306+Billion+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FakJ9HbM4B4+%40globalgreen+%40OneWorld_News+%40TheCCoalition&amp;amp;id=951069903607476224&amp;amp;name=EcoWatch&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The administration justifies the staff reductions based the 2016 Weather Service Operations and Workforce 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.weather.gov/media/nws/OWA_Catalog_09072017.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt; Analysis&lt;/a&gt;, which noted a &#34;mismatch ... between workforce and workload&#34; in some areas of the NWS and &#34;that the current distribution of staff across the country can evolve.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	But the National Weather Service Employees Organization, the agency&#39;s labor union, criticized the cuts.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;It&#39;s going to cost lives, it&#39;s going to cost the economy. Forecasts are going to be worse,&#34; Dan Sobien, union president, told Huntsville, Alabama-based news station 
	&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.waff.com/story/37509043/concerns-mounting-over-proposed-nws-cuts&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;WAFF&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Sobien added that NWS is already down more than 600 employees and further budget cuts would stretch the staff even thinner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;The only way they&#39;re going to be able to do this is to close offices or at least close them for parts of the day. Offices like Huntsville might be closed at night,&#34; Sobien said. &#34;These are the people that are issuing the tornado warnings, putting out the freeze forecasts and they&#39;re just not going to be there. They&#39;re not going to be there in offices like Huntsville in the middle of the night or some other key time. The forecasts are going to have to come from somewhere else and it&#39;s going to be people who are not familiar with the Huntsville area.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	In October, the organization said the agency is &#34;for the first time in its history 
	&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nwseo.org/Four%20Winds%202017/2017_10_20_NWS_DEGRADATION_OF_SERVICES.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;teetering on the brink of failure&lt;/a&gt;.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Sabien told 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://weather.com/science/news/2018-02-13-trump-national-weather-service-budget-cut-jobs&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;weather.com&lt;/a&gt; that inaccurate forecasting will &#34;cost us all a whole lot more than $75 million.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;Literally, this (proposed budget) is risking all of our lives to save a few million dollars,&#34; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	As detailed by WAFF, here are the additional proposed cuts at the NWS:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul class=&#34;ee-ul&#34;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A $15 million cut in the surface and marine observations program, which includes data points that provide information on ocean cycles such as El Nino.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul class=&#34;ee-ul&#34;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An $11 million cut to the agency&#39;s tsunami warning program.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul class=&#34;ee-ul&#34;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A $14 million cut to its science and technology integration activities, which would decrease investments in weather and water modeling and some supporting evaluation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p>Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D.-Ore.), alongside Representative Jim McGovern (D.-Mass.) and <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/conservation">conservation</a>, farmworker, farmer and consumer groups, on Wednesday reintroduced the Saving America's Pollinators Act, which aims to suspend the registration of certain <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/neonicotinoids">neonicotinoid</a> insecticides until the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (<a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/epa">EPA</a>) conducts a full scientific review. </p><p>In addition, 16 environmental and conservation groups have collected more than 100,000 public comments urging the agency to rein in the rampant overuse of neonicotinoid <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/pesticides">pesticides</a>—a leading cause of pollinator population declines.</p>

            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;Thousands of scientific studies implicate neonicotinoid pesticides, or &#34;neonics,&#34; as key contributors to declining pollinator populations. EPA&#39;s own scientists have found that neonics pose far-reaching risks to birds and aquatic invertebrates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, at the request of industry, the EPA extended its &lt;a href=&#34;https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/YqRlCG6zQPhA5g9IBRIEg?domain=link.email.dynect.net&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;comment period&lt;/a&gt; on preliminary ecological and human health risk assessments for the neonicotinoids clothianidin, thiamethoxam and dinotefuran, and a preliminary ecological risk assessment for the neonicotinoid imidacloprid. The EPA&#39;s risk assessments found deadly impacts to birds from neonic-treated seeds, poisoned insect prey and contaminated grasses. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;EPA&#39;s recent assessment confirms what the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/science/&#34;&gt;science&lt;/a&gt; has already shown: that neonicotinoids are highly toxic not just to &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/bees&#34;&gt;bees&lt;/a&gt;, but to aquatic species and birds,&#34; said Nichelle Harriott, science and regulatory director at &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.beyondpesticides.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Beyond Pesticides&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;To protect our waterways and pollinators it is imperative that action be taken on these chemicals.&#34; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;Our nation&#39;s beekeepers continue to suffer unacceptable mortality of 40 percent annually and higher,&#34; said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Center for Food Safety&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;Water contamination by these insecticides is virtually out of control. Wild pollinators and wetland-dependent birds are in danger. EPA must recognize the vast scientific literature showing the hazards of these chemicals and act to protect bees and the environment.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;University researchers have found that tiny amounts of neonics are enough to cause migrating songbirds to lose their sense of direction and become emaciated. A recent study by USGS researchers found neonics widespread in the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/great-lakes&#34;&gt;Great Lakes&lt;/a&gt; at levels that may potentially harm aquatic insects—the foundation of healthy aquatic ecosystems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;By harming pollinators like bees and butterflies, and natural pest control agents like birds and beneficial insects, neonicotinoids are sabotaging the very organisms on which farmers depend,&#34; said Cynthia Palmer, director of pesticides science and regulation at &lt;a href=&#34;https://abcbirds.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;American Bird Conservancy&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These chemicals have become ubiquitous in our food supply. Testing carried out by American Bird Conservancy and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found neonicotinoids in 9 out of 10 bites of food from House and Senate dining halls, with some foods containing as many as five types of neonics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Europe has instituted a temporary ban on neonicotinoids based on their harms to pollinators. Canada&#39;s pesticide regulatory agency &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/reports-publications/pesticides-pest-management/fact-sheets-other-resources/neonicotinoid-pesticides-bee-health/update-2017.html?=undefined&amp;amp;wbdisable=true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;has recommended&lt;/a&gt; banning the most widely used neonicotinoid based on harms to aquatic ecosystems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;When presented with the science about neonics and bees, the question becomes &#39;In what imaginary world could this astoundingly efficient bee-killing, persistent insecticide, used countrywide in extreme overkill quantities, not be harming our pollinators?&#39; said Dr. Luke Goembel, chemist and legislative vice chair with the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.centralmarylandbees.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Central Maryland Beekeepers Association&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;The only thing that is keeping the U.S. from joining other nations in banning the use of these devastating poisons is the immense profit that fuels PR campaigns, intense lobbying efforts, and questionable studies designed to mislead us on the harm these poisons do.&#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Given the ongoing obstruction by EPA leadership, however, Representatives Blumenauer and McGovern are offering a legislative remedy to address the national pollinator crisis.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&#34;Scientists at EPA are treated as irrelevant now because they are no longer part of the decision-making process,&#34; said Betsy Southerland, former director of EPA&#39;s office of Science and Technology. &#34;All environmental decisions come out of Administrator &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/scott-pruitt&#34;&gt;Pruitt&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s private meetings with industry and agribusiness.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;The EPA has an important mission—protecting people and the environment from harm,&#34; said Genna Reed, science and policy analyst for &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ucsusa.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Union of Concerned Scientists&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;The EPA&#39;s leadership can&#39;t do their job unless they listen to their own scientists and make decisions that reflect the facts. At a time when EPA staff is shrinking and science advisors at the agency are underutilized, it is critical that the agency act to enforce safeguards that really protect people, informed by the evidence.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;

<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/ewg-pfcs-drinking-water-2436908585.html">Perfluorinated chemicals</a>, also known as PFASs or PFCs, are used to make everyday items—such as food wrappers, textiles, pots and pans—repel water and grease. But these chemicals <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/perfluorinated-health-effects-2231217242.html">have been linked</a> to a host of <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/health-stories/">health</a> problems, including high cholesterol, hormone disruption and even kidney and testicular <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/cancer">cancer</a>.
</p><p style="">
	Now, researchers at Harvard University found 
	<a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1002502" target="_blank">evidence</a> that the <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/toxic-water-2473267362.html">environmentally persistent</a> chemicals—found in the <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/drinking-water">drinking water</a> of more than <a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.estlett.6b00260" target="_blank">six million Americans</a>—may play a role in weight gain, especially for women.

	PFAS are already a class of suspected &#34;obesogens,&#34; which the National Institutes of Health 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/conditions/obesity/obesogens/index.cfm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;describes&lt;/a&gt; as endocrine disruptors that may increase fat storage capacity or the number of fat cells, thus making it more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	While obesogens have been linked with excess weight gain and obesity in animal models, human data has been sparse, explained senior author Qi Sun, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard University.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Now, for the first time, our findings have revealed a novel pathway through which PFASs might interfere with human body weight regulation and thus contribute to the obesity epidemic,&#34; said Sun in a statement to EcoWatch.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	For the study, published Tuesday in 
	PLOS Medicine, the researchers examined the effects of energy-restricted diets on 621 overweight and obese participants aged 30 to 70 years. Body weight was measured at baseline and then at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The participants lost an average of 14 pounds of body weight during the six-month weight-loss period and then regained an average of six pounds of body weight during the 18-month weight regain period.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Blood examinations showed that the participants who gained the most weight after dieting had higher baseline levels of PFASs, especially women. Women with the highest PFAS levels re-gained about four pounds more than those with the lowest PFAS levels.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#34;These chemicals may lead to more rapid weight gain after dieting,&#34; Sun told the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/13/chemicals-in-packaging-carpets-and-non-stick-pans-may-contribute-to-obesity&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Guardian&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;It is very hard to avoid exposure to PFASs, but we should try to. It&#39;s an increasing public health issue.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#34;The sex-specific difference did surprise us a little bit,&#34; he told &lt;a href=&#34;http://time.com/5156163/perfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas-weight-gain/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;TIME&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;But we also know that PFAS can interfere with estrogen metabolism and functioning, so this may be why we see this observation mostly in women.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The study also found that higher blood concentration of PFASs were associated with lower resting metabolic rates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;People with lower metabolic rates are more likely to accumulate a lot of fat in the body, so this may be a very important part of the problem,&#34; Sun explained to TIME.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The findings suggest that overweight and obese individuals with relatively low PFAS exposures might potentially benefit more from weight-loss interventions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Despite some of the harmful health effects of PFASs, the paper notes that the production of some PFASs may continue or even increase, especially in developing countries.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Given the persistence of these PFASs in the environment and the human body, their potential adverse effects remain a public health concern,&#34; the authors said.&lt;/p&gt;

                <p style="">All nine community water systems on <a href="http://www.lyttonfirstnations.com/" target="_blank">Lytton First Nation</a> land in BC have been under boil water advisories at one time or another. Now the First Nation is taking an innovative approach to resolving its drinking water problems. It's working with public and private organizations and universities in a "circle of trust" to identify challenges and test solutions in real-world conditions. The approach came about as the result of a partnership with <a href="http://www.reseauwaternet.ca/" target="_blank">RES'EAU-WaterNET</a>, a strategic research network under the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.</p>

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Because problems with drinking water systems vary, RES&#39;EAU-WaterNET works with communities like Lytton First Nation to gain insights early on in the process. With Lytton First Nation&#39;s water treatment operators at the center of an &#34;innovation circle,&#34; they and experts from government, universities, consulting firms, water companies and contractors identified and piloted several options for providing affordable, sustainable water treatment solutions. Community members, including elders and youth, were also included in discussions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;A lab at the University of British Columbia built a mobile, state-of-the-art water treatment plant that can fit on the back of a truck. With help from UBC students, it was up and running at the Lytton First Nation in 2016, providing filtration and disinfection for water from Nickeyeah Creek.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;It&#39;s one of several innovative, much-needed approaches to meeting the federal government&#39;s promise to end all long-term drinking water advisories in First Nations communities by 2021. As commendable as the government&#39;s commitment is, new research shows it&#39;s falling short on progress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;A David Suzuki Foundation report, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://davidsuzuki.org/science-learning-centre-article/reconciling-promises-and-reality-clean-drinking-water-for-first-nations/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Reconciling Promises and Reality: Clean Drinking Water for First Nations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, finds the government failing on eight of 14 indicators developed to assess its progress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Lack of clean water in Indigenous communities is astonishing in a country where many of us take that for granted. &#34;Right now, we have elders going down to the lake, chopping holes in the ice to bring water to their households. Right now,&#34; Assembly of First Nations Manitoba regional chief Kevin Hart &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/first-nations-gathering-in-vancouver-want-better-water-legislation-safe-drinking-water-1.4523943&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;said&lt;/a&gt; at a Vancouver symposium, Reconciliation through Sustainable Water Management, in early February.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;As of Jan. 23, there were 91 long-term drinking water advisories affecting First Nations communities on public systems. (Adding short-term advisories brings the number to 147, as of Oct. 31, 2017.) Over the past two years, the government has lifted 32 advisories, but 22 new ones were added over the same time, illustrating the complexity of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Part of the problem is inadequate funding. The 2016 federal budget included $1.8 billion in new funding to help resolve the crisis, but a December 2017 Parliamentary Budget Officer report found these new investments into waste and water infrastructure &lt;a href=&#34;http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/government-spending-only-70-of-whats-needed-to-end-boil-water-advisories-on-reserves-pbo&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;represent just 70 percent of what is needed&lt;/a&gt; to end all First Nations drinking water advisories by 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Meeting the government&#39;s commitment will require a number of measures. Ensuring that First Nations lead the processes and have the tools, money and training needed to operate and maintain systems, and recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach won&#39;t address the varying needs of different communities are among the first steps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The report recommends a number of ways to improve processes, including the 12 recommendations from the Foundation&#39;s report released a year ago, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://davidsuzuki.org/science-learning-centre-article/report-glass-half-empty-year-1-progress-toward-resolving-drinking-water-advisories-nine-first-nations-ontario/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Glass Half Empty? Year 1 Progress Toward Resolving Drinking Water Advisories in Nine First Nations in Ontario&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, that still apply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;It also recommends that government invest in and share successful models of First Nations-led approaches to resolving drinking water advisories, including developing and implementing source water protection plans. It should ensure systems are upgraded quickly and effectively, with adequate and transparent funding provided for operations and maintenance. Legislation and regulations should also be developed, with First Nations as equal partners, to hold the federal government accountable to First Nations for safe drinking water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Support from provincial governments is also necessary, as is being done in Ontario.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;A long history of colonialism has had disastrous effects on social, psychological and economic resilience in communities. Only a holistic approach that builds capacity and infrastructure throughout communities and across sectors will be successful,&#34; the report notes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Water is life. We all have the right to safe water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Reconciliation means many things, but access to clean water is an absolute requisite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;
