For decades, sewage sludge — a byproduct of wastewater treatment — has been marketed as a sustainable fertilizer. But the reality is far more dangerous. Loaded with PFAS (‘forever chemicals’), microplastics, and other toxic contaminants, sludge is poisoning our farmland, food, and water.

Join Just Zero on for a crucial conversation on the risks of sewage sludge and the urgent need for action. This webinar marks the official launch of the national Coalition for Sludge Free Land, a new alliance of scientists, farmers, frontline communities, environmental advocates, and policy leaders committed to ending the land application of toxic sludge.
