A world without plastic In her new book “The Problem with Plastic,” a former EPA official looks at the costs of plastic overproduction and how we can move beyond it

“It's not a science issue. It really is a political science issue.”

If it feels like plastics are everywhere lately, that’s because they are. But Judith Enck, author and former EPA official, says there are solutions to our growing plastics problem.

MY BOOK IS OFFICIALLY OUT TODAY!

Here’s a press release, but you can also DM me if you want copies, interviews, etc. www.aspublicaspossiblebook.com

Plastics and The Cost of Convenience on Black Communities How Louisiana’s Black communities are fighting to survive in a battle where every breath, every drop of water, and every patch of land is at stake.

Today, THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC — a book I helped write last year with @beyondplastics.bsky.social — is finally out in the world.

You can find an excerpt on THE COST of CONVENIENCE in Capital B today. @thenewpress.bsky.social capitalbnews.org/plastic-polu...

Walking Lahore, Watching the World - Public Books The new mosque's central dome dominates the town's skyline, but competes with an 80-metre-high replica Eiffel Tower, and a scale reproduction of Trafalgar Square.

Historian Chris Moffat updates *Disrupted City* by thinking about the shifting landscapes of Lahore since the 2000s.

An exhilarating tale examining the intersection of our world and the next.

Who's got the power? By Dave Lamper, published by The New Press

Sometimes, when I'm receiving new arrivals, the books just jump right out of the box and into my hands and then I stop everything I'm doing and read 10 pages and then I buy a new book to bring home. This is one of those times. Congrats on the new book @dskamper.bsky.social @thenewpress.bsky.social!
