Ever wonder how PFAS can spread throughout a community, and what you can do to help? Add your voice - "No PFAS Cleanup? No Hyannis Airport Expansion!" at https://act.sierraclub.org/actions/Massachusetts?actionId=AR0489244

PFAS cleanup should be Step 1 in any expansion of Cape Cod Gateway Airport in Hyannis - or the expansion should not go forward. Please help send state environmental officials this message!

No PFAS Cleanup? No Hyannis Airport Expansion! Cape Cod Gateway Airport must not be allowed to expand unless work begins with cleanup of PFAS-contaminated sites threatening Hyannis area water supplies, residents, workers, and visitors. Compliance with the Commonwealth's greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements should also be required.

Here's the direct link if you'd like to join tonight's 530 info session and learn how to advocate for accelerated cleanup of PFAS contamination at Hyannis Airport:
