Instead, they cleave the weaker bonds between carbon and chlorine. The bacteria don’t break the tough carbon-fluorine bond directly, says Men. Similar microbes could already be breaking down chlorinated PFAS contamination, she says.

Don’t wait to start your cleanup-though some times are better than others. Use ‘could,’ not ‘should,’ from here on in… empowers you, gives you a choice, and later allows you to take the credit for a job well done." My advice is to dump the word from your vocabulary forever. When you use it, you feel guilty and obligated. “‘Should’ is one of the most disempowering words there is. “In this book, I’m not telling you that you ‘should’ do this or ‘should’ do that,’” says Kingston in a chapter on how to start your clutter clear-out. In that spirit, here are seven clutter-cutting tips even those of us drowning in stuff can embrace. “If you have a clear focus in your life and you surround yourself with things that have this marvelous free-flowing energy, you will have a correspondingly happy, joyous, free-flowing life,” Kingston explains. On the flip side, a clutter-free space filled with things that are loved and used regularly allows positive energy to move fluidly, not just through the space but also through you. ![]() |
