Incredible People Like You Are at the Heart of Our Work (continued)
You Educate and Spread Awareness Our work together would be incomplete if we didn’t educate people about threats to our environment and how we can each make a difference.

Earlier this year, George Washington University’s Dr. Ivy Ken invited Food & Water Watch researcher Natalie Balbuena to her class to speak about PFAS. “I really enjoyed engaging with students,” said Natalie, and summed up her experience with three words: “Moti- vation. I’m very passionate about this topic and put a lot of work into the research. I wanted to let my energy shine through so I can pass motivation on to the students — so they can get up and do something about the PFAS crisis.” “Also, momentum: We’re riding the wave as we speak when it comes to PFAS. We're living and witnessing the history of people starting to regulate them.” “And, awareness: Awareness is THE key! And something that should bring you comfort. The fact that you are aware, the fact that awareness makes you a conscious consumer — What do you spend your money on? Who do you support? Do they support legislation that is great for PFAS regulation? And crucially, it also empowers people and communities to protect each other.” Thank you for generously investing in talent and passion like Natalie’s. Because of you, she and other Food & Water Watch experts are educating and spreading awareness about threats to our health and communities.
