Sue Gruen, BoH:
  • COVID cases are up, Sue suggests a ROBO call to inform residents.
  • Sue has some test kits: call  337-4235 for a drive-by pick up at 3 East Main St next to Sawyer Hall.
  • There will be a vac clinic on May 18 from 2:30 TO 6:30. Detail should be in the Robo call.
Dave Wasialewski:
A concerned citizen from Dalton. His message: our waste management is failing, Toxins are being  released into the environment. Paul Penn from Local Power based in Williamsburg presented to the SB.  Public health issues surrounding waste: sewer sludge is being dumped on farms in Maine which is permanent damage to the soil.  PFAS go straight through sewer treatment plants, trucked away as sludge, or burned. PFAS causes many health issues.

 "PFAS are a large, complex, and ever-expanding group of manufactured chemicals that are widely used to make various types of everyday products. For example, they keep food from sticking to cookware, make clothes and carpets resistant to stains, and create firefighting foam that is more effective. PFAS are used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics, and military.
PFAS molecules are made up of a chain of linked carbon and fluorine atoms. Because the carbon-fluorine bond is one of the strongest, these chemicals do not degrade in the environment. In fact, scientists are unable to estimate an environmental half-life for PFAS, which is the amount of time it takes 50% of the chemical to disappear."]
We need a regional approach to a process to convert waste into hydrogen and limestone.  Ways2H is a joint venture between U.S.-based Clean Energy Enterprises, and Japan Blue Energy Corporation. Looking to engage a number of towns to express interest in the initiative. ​
