It's the last week of #nationalradonactionmonth! Not smoking is not enough to prevent lung cancer. More than 21,000 people in the US lose their lives each year due to radon-induced lung cancer. Test your home today! Learn more, including where to find an inexpensive test kit at www.sosradon.org.
Did you know radon is natural, colorless, odorless, tasteless? Unless you test for it, there is no way of telling how much is present. You’ve taken down the lights. You’ve put away the decorations. But have you tested your home for radon? No better time than #NationalRadonActionMonth! Learn more at www.sosradon.org
It's called the silent killer - and it may be in your home right now. Radon gas enters through cracks in the ground in homes of all ages in all locations and is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. The ONLY way to find out if you have high levels of radon is to test your home with an inexpensive and easy test kit that you can find at home improvement stores.
We are hosting a webinar for medical professionals to provide information and resources to educate patients on radon in homes. Learn more and register: https://conta.cc/3SbZTmN

Our actions today shape the water realities of tomorrow.💧 #ValueWater #ImagineADayWithoutWater 🚰 Find more info at www.imagineadaywithoutwater.org.
Tonya% Dive In 2022
The EFC is diving into 2022! EFC Director, Tonya Bronleewe, has this to say about the new year!
In 2022, we plan to make a big splash with our innovative and meaningful projects. We are jumping into important topics like drinking water safety, utility rates and finance, food waste, household hazardous waste, infrastructure investments, sustainable materials management, community sustainability and much more. This year we will increase focus on environmental justice and equity by reaching out to support traditionally underserved communities in their economic and environmental goals. Our staff has plunged into developing an EFC Strategic Plan that will take the Center to new heights. We hope that you come alongside us, like pairs divers, and together we can take giant strides to enhance environmental and financial health in communities across the Midwest and nationwide.
