About this episode

Judith Enck discusses her book on plastic pollution and its impact on health and the environment.

Judith just published  The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It’s Too Late . I've read a lot about plastic and hosted many authors. I won't lie. Before starting the book, I thought I should read it because I knew her, but didn't expect much. Instead, I learned a lot new. I found it engaging and compelling. I recommend it. Yes, you'll learn things that are sobering, but you'd rather know than not know, especially things that affect your health and safety and your family's. It also guides you to how to respond, personally, socially, and politically. Judith cares and has experience. Start by listening to our conversation. Then read the book. The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It’s Too Late WEBINAR with co-authors Judith Enck, Adam Mahoney, and Melissa Valliant, January 28, 2026 Hosted on Acast.
