A Mosaic Project to Combat Forever Chemicals 
Led by Susan Altman
Free & Open to the Public

INSTALLATION SESSION
10.12

Over the past few weeks, many of you have designed and made your own beautiful mosaic water drops. It is now time for these many parts to be installed together! On the morning of October 12th, Susan will used the individual mosaics to create a mural outside ACM’s front door. This new public art piece will build awareness and activism to reduce the use of PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” You are invited to join in the installation!

PFAS chemicals make products water-repellant, grease-resistant, and/or heat tolerant, and they are found in thousands of consumer products. They last a very long time, are found in almost everyone’s body, and can accumulate to dangerously high levels. They are linked to many serious health problems, and PFAS pollution can be much worse in environmental justice communities. 

In this project you will learn more about forever chemicals, some steps you can take to avoid them, and ways to fight their use in consumer products.
