Since last autumn, CCGA has been focused specifically on the problem community gardeners face with biosolids from MWRD (Metropolitan Water Reclamation District) and the necessity of starting a community-wide discussion to outline a way forward.<br><br>CCGA has invited a team from MWRD to join Jennifer Walling, Executive Director of the Illinois Environmental Council, Andrew Margenot, Assistant Professor of Crop Sciences at University of Illinois, and concerned community gardeners to have a discussion about the issue. MWRD will bring research findings to contribute to an open and solution-oriented discussion. Jen Walling will provide environmental policy and strategy insight, and Dr. Margenot will share a soil science and chemistry perspective, as PFAS contamination of agricultural soils and water has quickly become a farm and food safety issue in many states. <br><br>The CCGA education team promises an informative discussion, open to all community gardeners and interested participants. With this event, CCGA aims to identify resources for gardeners who have been impacted by the possible contamination of soil in our gardens and urban farms. CCGA's overarching goal is to develop a community gardening policy for biosolids and PFAS, as well as advocate for a city-wide plan.</span></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" valign="top" style="padding: 9px 18px;"><table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBottomContent" width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse; background-color: rgb(85, 53, 19);"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBottomImageContent" align="left" valign="top" style="padding: 0px;"><img alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7f2904daf2a26a891c68f8bb0/images/278bde6f-d40b-ca52-4aa7-fb5b52e8c05d.jpg" width="564" class="mcnImage" style="border: 0px; height: auto; outline: none; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: bottom; max-width: 1000px;"></td></tr><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" valign="top" width="546" style="word-break: break-word; color: rgb(242, 242, 242); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center; padding: 9px 18px; font-weight: normal;"><em><span style="font-family: "noticia text", georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">A large variety of plant species can take up PFASs from the environment.
