#wastewatermonitoring — Public Fediverse posts

Advocacy opportunity 📣 The Metro Vancouver region has a survey seeking input on their 2027 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan.

Metro Vancouver deals with things like wastewater, air quality, regional planning, providing below-market rental housing and more. (Note that they don’t just serve Vancouver - they serve many municipalities, which are listed in the survey.)

Take the survey until March 27, and be sure to let them know that you care about:

- wastewater testing / monitoring for communicable diseases
- air quality improvements, including indoor air quality and aligning building codes with up-to-date air quality standards like ASHRAE 241!

Yes, they're acting as if there were no reasonable ways to reduce or prevent deaths and injuries from Covid.

Welp, for some reason it seems my county has stopped sending #COVID #WastewaterMonitoring data to #Biobot. Cool to know that keeping ourselves safe is entirely up to personal responsibility and also we're just gonna shut down the last tool we had to calculate personal risk tolerance. Nifty. Neat.

Woah!
