Is the water you drink every day silently poisoning you—and everyone else on the planet?

As toxic “forever chemicals” (PFAS) force regulators and law firms into unprecedented environmental litigation, are we doing enough to protect public health and our communities? This isn’t just an environmental debate—it’s a real-world legal crisis with real implications.

In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes Katrina McGowan, director and producer of the eye-opening documentary “How to Poison a Planet”. Katrina is on the front lines of uncovering global PFAS contamination and the corporate cover-ups behind it. We brought her on to expose how this environmental catastrophe is driving landmark litigation—and why legal professionals must pay attention.

Did you know “forever chemicals” are now detected in 98% of human blood around the world—including newborns and even polar bears in the Arctic? And yet, many governments (and industries) are still pretending there’s nothing to see here.

Listen in as Katrina reveals the dramatic journey behind her film, real stories from legal battles with chemical giants, and exclusive insights on the urgent role lawyers play in environmental justice.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are everywhere—from firefighting foam to your drinking water

  • The real story: Katrina’s inspiration, research, and shocking revelations while making How to Poison a Planet

  • The human impact: Uncovering health crises in contaminated communities like Wreck Bay, Australia

  • Behind-the-scenes: How lawyers in the U.S. and Australia brought accountability to global corporations (3M and more)

  • Corporate cover ups revealed—what internal documents finally showed about industry knowledge and intent

  • Challenges faced: Government denial and resistance, public ignorance, and regulatory loopholes

  • Screening the documentary for policymakers and its impact on pushing regulatory change

  • Steps individuals and law firms can take to protect themselves and their clients now

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Spread Awareness: Most people don’t know about PFAS risks. Help educate your community.

  • Act Together: Collective efforts—legal, civic, or grassroots—can pressure companies and regulators to act.

  • Demand Transparency: Exposing hidden information can lead to real change. Push for openness.

  • Push for Reform: Public pressure can drive stronger environmental laws and enforcement.

  • Get Ahead of the Risk: Learn your exposure, adopt safer practices, and prepare before harm occurs.
