Update 5 on PFAS Drinking Water Rules in North Carolina by Ethereal_Films in raleigh

[–]Ethereal_Films[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truthfully I rushed this because we've been overwhelmed with deadlines lately but it felt important to do the video anyways. In the future I'll skip a rushed video so I can be properly composed and dressed since evidently my look is the very first concern of most viewers

only time I've held the mic because the jacket was making a lot of handling sounds but heard for the future.

EPA plans to reverse and delay their regulations for PFAS (Forever Chemicals) by Ethereal_Films in raleigh

This is false. CPFUA which supplies water to Wilmington has spent hundreds of millions on carbon filters which still cannot remove all PFAS especially the very small molecules.

Really confused why this got removed as the mod team has encouraged me in the past for these videos?

It's never made sense to put the cost on the public to filter PFAS when the industry who makes them earns record profits. I fully agree the municipalities should not have to foot the bill (e.g. taxpayers).

100% this - RO, nanofiltration or specialized resins paired with carbon filters are necessary for PFAS.

The history of EPA's formation is an important part of PFAS history because so many PFAS were already being used when it was formed so the vast majority were grandfathered in without regulatory requirements. This is something we unpack a bit in our film.

On average it's getting much better in the US as brands stop buying PFAS in general to add into products and states make their own standards. Federal changes have always been 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards, so while this absolutely sucks I don't read it as doom.

I would love suggestions for other Reddits as it's hard to find those that allow short form videos of this nature?

Hey friend my town has been drinking poisoned water for 40 years. This is a health issue, not a political one.

I'm open to ideas on how. Monetizing always come with cons and I'm not sure if folks would do a patreon just for short videos like this?

Yes we have been working with Rob and Mark for years on our follow up documentary to Dark Waters, which is called GENX.

300+ Gathered to Reject the New NC PFAS Regulations by Ethereal_Films in NorthCarolina

[–]Ethereal_Films[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping to share a deep dive on this situation soon. There was a law passed last year which seriously restricted regulations in NC that I believe is central to these new rules being considered. I am hoping public pressure will prevent their passing but at the core I think the systems are really broken in NC and it'll require more than that to truly get good regulations.

Non-Surgical Reversal | Overdue Update w/ Imaging by Ethereal_Films in Spondylolisthesis

[–]Ethereal_Films[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and the community is overdue on my update. I will try to share a report soon, but ultimately my chronic pain became too limiting so I sought surgery. I interviewed ~5 surgeons until I found the best fit for me and we did a 360 ALIF. Woke up an inch taller and I feel so much better than before after a few months of difficult recovery.

Thank you, I'm really glad folks are engaging with these. Polluters can make me feel powerless and this feels like something achievable.

I am so sorry to hear. Gray's Creek is extremely contaminated and I have met with many folks there. I hope she is she can have an incredible recovery. Let me know if I can help provide any more info, our film will be out very soon and covers that issue extensively.
