Forever Chemicals (more accurately known as PFAS, per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are everywhere. In your blood, in your water, in your pets, and in your taco wrappers.

We need to work together to find and correct the sources of PFAS contamination around the world. This will take years of research with support from our federal government in the US and governments around the world. You can educate yourself on PFAS, contact your local, state, and federal governments and express your concern and your support for researching, regulating, and cleaning up these "forever chemicals".

Check out Dark Waters if you haven't. Thank you Mark Ruffalo for all your work!

Lyrics:
I’ll be your forever chemical
Until the end of time
Ubiquitous and persistent,
In your water and your wine,
You might forget I’m there,
After I’ve been there for so long,
But just know I’m always with you,
Here where I belong.

I’ll be with you forever,
And be unforgettable,
I want your heart, to pump me
Through your atria and ventricles,
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
I wanna be with you,
Like a forever chemical.

I’m one part in a billion
And this closeness I'm feelin,
I will never leave you,
No matter what you do,
So if you’re lonely and sad,
You can always remember that,
I’ll never go away,
Even after your dying day.

I’ll be with you forever,
And be unforgettable,
I want your heart, to pump me
Through your atria and ventricles,
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
I wanna be with you,
Like a forever chemical.

Hey laaaaaaaaaaady,
Do you know what
Forever means?
Can you understand?
Infinity
Even years after you die,
I’ll still be hanging out inside,
Baby I will never change,
I will just accumulate.

I’ll be with you forever,
And be unforgettable,
I want your heart, to pump me
Through your atria and ventricles,
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
I wanna be with you,
Like a forever chemical.

I wanna be with you,
Like a forever chemical.
