Aquagga takes top prize at PNW Climate Week event for its battle against ‘forever chemicals'
Sustainability: News about the rapidly growing climate tech sector and other areas of innovation to protect our planet. SEE MORE Aquagga CEO Dhileep Sivam makes his winning pitch at a PNW Climate Week contest held in Seattle. (GeekWire Photo / Brent Roraback) Six early-stage climate and deep-tech startups faced off at a pitch contest and happy hour in Seattle as part of PNW Climate Week. Entrepreneurs, investors and climate tech enthusiasts packed the Thursday evening event at Stoup Brewing on Capitol Hill. The competing companies are tackling a variety of sustainability challenges, including solar panel recycling, deployment of residential heat pumps and AI-assisted ocean floor surveys. The panel of judges and the crowd both crowned Aquagga as the winner, awarding the startup $1,500 in prize money. The company is developing portable, modular units for destroying PFAS 'forever chemicals' that for years have been used in food packaging, carpets and fabrics, water-repellent clothing and non-stick pans. The chemicals are used to repel water, stains and grease, but they escape from products and contaminate drinking water across the U.S. and are even detected in breast milk. In his presentation, CEO Dhileep Sivam showcased how his startup's technology directly addresses customer pain points. Aquagga eliminates all forms of PFAS while treating wastewater contaminated with additional pollutants, offering a cost-effective onsite alternative to expensive transportation and incineration processes. The crowd and judges consider the top pitch at a PNW Climate Week event at Stoup Brewing. (GeekWire Photo / Brent Roraback) 'We're building something that's going to be really attractive for our customers,' Sivam said. The CEO noted that Aquagga, which launched in 2019, is scaling operations for bigger cleanup projects. The company has secured new contracts with 3M and landed a three-year Colorado deal to process unwanted firefighting foam containing PFAS. The contest's judges were Rodrigo Prudencio, managing partner at Propeller VC; Gabriel Scheer, senior director of innovation for the investment nonprofit Elemental Impact; Dana Robinson, a member of the climate-focused, angel investment group E8; and Alex Young, senior associate at Energy Impact Partners. The event was hosted by E8 and Gliding Ant Ventures, an organization supporting startups pursuing low-carbon technologies. PNW Climate Week is a 10-day regional conference focused on the clean-energy transition with events held in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Portland, Vancouver, B.C., and Bellingham. It runs until Friday.

High wildfire danger forecast in Oregon, across PNW in July, August, September
The entire state of Oregon and Pacific Northwest is facing high wildfire danger across July, August and September, according to the latest forecast from the National Interagency Fire Center. One of the driest springs on record combined with a long-range forecast calling for hot and dry temperatures led to the unusually long and widespread high fire danger forecast. It's not clear whether the entire PNW has ever been at high fire danger for three months straight, officials said. 'The only year that would compare would be 2021, when we came into summer in a very deep drought,' state climatologist Larry O'Neill said. It's normal for parts of Oregon to be at elevated fire danger across summer, but it's rare to see the entire state in the "red" category. Jon Fox, a fire meteorologist for the Northwest Coordination Center, said that fine fuels, such as grasses and shrubs, are already far drier than normal. 'The issue is that we don't see any relief in sight,' he said. 'The long-range forecasts are all calling for a real good chance of warmer-than-normal temperatures. It all sets up for a busy fire season.' O'Neill said the soil dried out, and snowpack melted, about two to three weeks earlier than normal. 'The date of the meltout above 4,000 feet tell us something about how long fire season will be, and this year, it looks like it'll be about two or three weeks longer,' he said. At this point, with the state primed for ignition, the biggest factors will be the weather patterns that hit Oregon this summer. If the state gets east winds and dry lightning strikes, it's likely to be a busy and smoky summer. If thunderstorms arrive with more rain, then it could be an average year. But all the ingredients are in place for a busy season, O'Neill said. Zach Urness has been an outdoors reporter in Oregon for 18 years and is host of the Explore Oregon Podcast.

'90s Trends That Should Never Come Back
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which '90s fashion trends they hope never ever make a comeback. Here are 22 of their top responses: "Hypercolor t-shirts. Tits and pits immediately turned the hypercolor color, so that's all people would focus on." —justjen0178 "Those zigzag headbands that had 'teeth.' They were uncomfortable and not that cute." —edgyskeleton362 "Let's leave chunky highlights dead and buried where they belong." —Anonymous, 44, Wisconsin "Hammer pants! Why all that fabric?" —Anonymous, 43 Glens Falls, NY "Dayglow anything. It's already back, but I don't understand why unless you're working and need high vis apparel." —Anonymous "Slip dresses. You can only wear them standing, because if you sit in them, permanently creased. I hated them then, and I continue to hate them." —hollycc "Acid-washed jeans are the worst clothing item ever made." —stephaniev23 "Colored lens glasses with rhinestones." —surprisedtrout753 "It's already too late because they did, but rayon pants. The loose and flowy pants or shorts are not flattering on anyone. 99 percent of those who wear them are not doing their butts a favor. I hated them then. I hate them now." —fabcactus808 "Anything with a leopard print." —Anonymous, 16, Gordon's Bay "Repeat after me; THIN. EYEBROWS. This needs to stay dead and buried unless it actually fits your face. Seriously, I know people who did it that regret their eyebrows never growing back in. And, it's a little creepy. Just do your eyebrows to fit your face, not some trend you see on TikTok." —Anonymous, 32 "JNCO jeans. I grew up in the PNW, so anyone wearing them would end up dragging around soggy denim all day. It was gross." —Anonymous, 39 Texas "Whale tails." —Anonymous, 45 "Matching windbreaker pants and jacket suits. Usually in bright colors. Always with a lining that was so itchy and uncomfortable, and the pants went 'swish swish' when you walked." —Sam, Louisville, KY "Overalls are a big cringe. I wore stonewashed shortalls in the '90s, with a mauve lettuce shirt (rib-knit t-shirt with ruffled edges), and I just cannot believe I ever thought I looked cool. It was just the most awkward look." —caroliner4f34a2a95 "I'll never forget wearing jelly sandals on a hot summer day, walking down the street with a friend, and my shoes were MELTING (or so I thought). They were getting stuck in the hot asphalt. They were a cheap pair I picked up at Dollar General." —toomanykidsnotenoughtime "Stirrup leggings. I lived in them as a kid, but they were so bad, looking back as an adult." —Anonymous, 39 Texas "Shoulder pads need never return." —Anonymous "Why do these '90s lists never talk about wearing dog chains [a chain wallet]? I distinctly remember being in 5th and 6th grade, and kids walking around with dog chains hanging from their belt loops." —askaspie "The plaids from Clueless are seriously embarrassing!!!" —gemininorthnode "Another trend that never needs to come back is those sandals and flip flops with the footbed that looked like a bath mat (they were comfortable, but OMG, germs and just gross)." —toomanykidsnotenoughtime And finally: "Jean jackets have been a trend since the '50s, they're not exclusive to the '90s, and I would argue they were probably most ubiquitous in the '80s... However, the particular style worn in the '90s — boxy, oversized, shapeless — can stay back in the '90s (coming from someone who LIVED in those jean jackets back then!)." —trilingualmom Some of these trends were more niche than others, so what's an obscure or "forgotten" '90s trend you remember? Tell us all about it in the comments!
