The CAG prepared and sent a letter to state and federal representatives on Monday, February 9th, re/introducing our
organization and work to them. We encouraged them to attend one of our monthly meetings and consider taking a tour of
the Superfund Sites when the weather warms and received responses from regional directors for US Senators Elissa
Slotkin and Gary Peters.
In early March, CAG leadership approved a $500 donation (non-federal funds) to the Healthy Pine River group in Alma
to support its efforts to address contamination in the watershed as aligned with our mission.
Since our last meeting, Doug Brecht shared news articles with the CAG Executive Committee related to community concerns, including coverage of federal rollback of pollution policies (EPA), EGLE initiatives, and forever chemical contamination and human health.
The Science Journal for Kids article and companion curriculum for middle and high school students is now available at the following link: https://www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/what-can-we-learn-from-environmental-accidents/ . The materials break down an academic paper on health impacts from the Michigan PBB Disaster ( PBB State of the Science ) and are available in both English and Spanish. The CAG funded the project (not with federal dollars).
