The Green King, Greening the Golden State, Forever Chemicals Are Now Everywhere, Too and more
King Charles III, the former Prince of Wales, has acceded to the throne and brings with him a lifelong passion for nature and environmental causes. As His Majesty takes on a new role as sovereign, the environment and climate torch now passes to his son William, the new Prince of Wales.\xa0\nAlso, California has been a national leader on tackling climate change and recently announced two changes to further green the golden state.\xa0First, California will ban the sale of most new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.\xa0Second, and more controversially, Governor Newsom approved an extension for the life of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power station, which is carbon-free but not without risk.\nAnd PFAS chemicals are known as \u201cforever chemicals\u201d because they hardly break down in the environment -- and they\u2019re just about everywhere. How these chemicals are affecting us and what we can do about it.\n--\nJoin us online for a conversation with renowned conservationist Jane Goodall on Friday, September 23rd at 5:30 p.m. Eastern!
