Global access to clean energy is an under-recognized determinant of health A new Lancet series on energy and health has pulled together the strong but previously fragmented evidence of the health hazards caused by biomass fuels.

People around the globe rely on harmful #biomass fuels for cooking and heating that cause millions of deaths. A new Lancet series featuring UC Berkeley Public Health #EnvironmentalHealth research highlights clean, reliable energy as the solution.

After Bennington findings, DEC offers guidance for private well testing and treatment DEC staff described randomized and targeted well testing after elevated PFAS in Bennington, explained when the state will assist sampling, and said private testing typically costs $300–$500; carbon filtration can treat drinking water though household systems are costly.

Residents in Vermont are urged to test their private wells for concerning PFAS levels, as new findings reveal alarming contamination rates in Bennington.

Rob McConnell Interviews - ROSALIND PETERSEN - Agriculture Defense Coalition What is really happening in our skies—and how could it be affecting our environment, agriculture, and health? In this eye-opening episode, Rosalind Peterson of the Agriculture Defense Coalition raises critical questions about atmospheric activity, environmental policy, and the potential impact of large-scale programs on ecosystems and food production. Drawing from her background in agriculture and environmental research, Rosalind discusses concerns related to air quality, weather modification, and the long-term effects these factors may have on crops, soil, and water systems. She examines reports and data that suggest changes in environmental patterns—and asks whether enough transparency exists around activities that could influence the natural balance of our planet. This episode goes beyond speculation, encouraging listeners to think critically about the intersection of science, policy, and public awareness. How do environmental changes affect the food we grow and the air we breathe? What responsibility do governments and institutions have to inform the public? And how can individuals stay informed and engaged on issues that impact everyone? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that explores environmental stewardship, accountability, and the importance of asking questions about the world around us—because what happens in our skies may have far-reaching consequences here on the ground.
