Mariah Blake

*Sunday, Aug. 16, 1 to 2 p.m.*

Join us for a virtual conversation with investigative journalist Mariah Blake about her book, "They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C2064855 ]".

 

Blake’s gripping investigation traces the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to conceal the dangers of PFAS — “forever chemicals” that have quietly infiltrated daily life. Told through the story of a small town on the frontlines of a public health crisis, the book reveals how these chemicals reached our homes, bodies, and water supplies, and what it means for public health moving forward.


 

This program will take place online over Zoom. Registration is required.

Storm Drain
Sunnyvale Environmental Services: Adopt-a-Storm Drain!

The City of Sunnyvale's Environmental Services Department is excited to introduce new a community initiative to help keep local waterways clean and streets flood-free: the Adopt-a-Storm Drain Program [ https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/homes-streets-and-property/streets-and-trees/storm-drains/adopt-a-storm-drain ].

 

Sunnyvale's stormwater system plays a critical role in managing runoff from streets and neighborhoods. Unlike wastewater, stormwater in Sunnyvale is not treated or filtered before reaching local waterways. Debris-clogged storm drains can cause street flooding and introduce pollutants into the Bay. By keeping storm drains clear of debris, participants can make a direct impact on the community by preventing flooding and protecting local creeks and the Bay.

 

As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to name their adopted drain and will be provided access to City-supplied tools and safety equipment, including a litter tool, rake, dustpan, bucket, gloves and a safety vest.
