"Dr Grimalda’s commitment to low-carbon travel is a deeply inspiring act of breaking with business as usual. I hope it encourages professionals to reflect on their own high-carbon travel practices, while reminding policymakers of the need to curb the continued growth of aviation."

Well, when a large garage/shed full of PFAS foam concentrate barrels (stinking & leaking) alongside a bright red fire foam only trolley is photographed at distance and described as ‘shed with containers’ by the desk top study, EA might well be successfully duped…

Best you also have a rethink over the Islip village former cold war jet fuel store (serving Upper Heyford). Riddled with PFAS contamination and abandoned barrels of firefighting foam concentrate. You’ve green lit planning with zero controls in place. Highest UK test results for contaminated soil.

Meanwhile, in the UK & Europe, the clean-up costs for PFAS look set to be enormous, with serious questions about who will end up paying for it. Will it be the businesses who made enormous profits producing PFAS? Or will it be taxpayers? share.google/Hg7bg2RVmvHL...

The business groups argued, when the EPA reclassified the chemicals, it 'failed ⁠to properly consider the rule’s “enormous costs” for businesses'. A counter-argument might be that the businesses had failed to consider the enormous costs of their pollution to taxpayers. share.google/qOf1plDcqD4T...
