Booksigning with author Judith Enck, THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It’s Too Late. Judith Enck will share her powerful investigation into plastic’s impact on human health and the environment, and how we can fight back.
More than a critique, The Problem with Plastic emphasizes the urgent need for action against plastic’s toxic legacy. It higlights powerful stories of frontline resistance in places like Louisiana, Texas, and Appalachia, and equips readers with practical tools—including a “Household Waste Audit” to track and reduce plastic consumption, as well as model policy guides for driving legislative change.
Urgent, eye-opening, and ultimately empowering, The Problem with Plastic reminds us: plastic is a problem—but together, we can be the solution. Read More about Event
