In this enlightening episode, we delve into the pervasive and concerning issue of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination with Nigel Sharp, the forward-thinking founder of Aquagga. PFAS, often referred to as the "forever chemicals," pose a significant challenge to water quality and environmental safety worldwide. Nigel shares his journey of discovery, the impact of PFAS, and the innovative efforts his company is making to not just remove, but destroy these persistent contaminants.

This episode not only sheds light on the critical issue of PFAS contamination but also inspires hope and action through the innovative work of Nigel Sharp and his team. As we look towards the future, it's clear that addressing the PFAS crisis will require a concerted effort from all sectors of society. Join us in exploring the complexities of this challenge and the promising solutions on the horizon.

Our faith in humanity was restored this week by Edgar Mora, the visionary former mayor of Curridabat, Costa Rica. During his twelve-year tenure, Mora led an extraordinary transformation of the city into a sanctuary for wildlife. His innovative approach included bestowing citizenship upon crucial pollinators such as bees, hummingbirds, bats, and butterflies, as well as recognizing the rights of native plants and trees. We are profoundly grateful to Mora for championing the recognition and sovereignty of all living beings in Curridabat.
