Reseearch just found those living near a golf course groundwater supply have 2x the odds of developing Parkinson’s disease. 😳 “The drinking water will be piped to a series of dirt basins beside the Hansen Dam Golf Course, then percolate into the soil and replenish groundwater before pumping out.“ 🌱
A major shift in where L.A. gets water: The city will double the size of a project to transform wastewater into purified drinking water, producing enough for 500,000 people. The recycled water will allow L.A. to stop taking water from creeks that feed Mono Lake. www.latimes.com/environment/...
Los Angeles will nearly double recycled water for 500,000 residents
Los Angeles is set to double the size of a planned facility that will transform wastewater into purified drinking water, recycling enough water to meet the needs of 500,000 people.

“the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria,thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.”
