Electric cars are cheaper to drive than petrol and diesel, will soon be cheaper to buy, and are vital to cutting carbon emissions and air pollution. The government must do more to help UK industry make high-quality EVs, rather than keeping the it hooked on outdated technology. shorturl.at/J26Zz

🎊 This week French MPs passed a new law to #BanPFAS in several consumer products. 📢Now, it's the EU's turn to protect people and nature across Europe by taking decisive action to restrict #PFAS in a much wider range of uses. More in our news story: https://buff.ly/4bb9Vfb #foreverchemicals

👏 Great news! 🇫🇷 Today French MPs voted to #BanPFAS from consumer products like clothing and cosmetics. Over 140,000 citizens called on their MPs to back the ban & this is a huge win for the protection of people’s health & environment in France. More in our news story: buff.ly/4bb9Vfb

✅️ #PFAS : Ma proposition de loi vient d'être adoptée par les membres de la Commission. 🎉 Une excellente nouvelle pour le vote final qui sera statué en hémicycle jeudi 20 février. La France est prête à se doter de la loi la plus ambitieuse pour protéger sa population contre les PFAS. #STOPFAS

Hopefully France will act to protect its citizens and environment by banning PFAS nationally and supporting action at the EU level.

CHEM Trust@chemtrust.bsky.social · 2y ago

👏🏻 Tomorrow, French policymakers will debate banning #PFAS across many consumer products.   They could join other countries, such as Denmark, on taking the lead towards a PFAS free economy. Now it’s time for the EU to act! More in our latest blog: chemtrust.org/french_pfas_...
