@washingtonpost.com has created an interactive walkthrough of the plastics (and the 16,000 chemicals involved in their creation) we interact with in our everyday lives and how they affect our health. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Judith Enck was interviewed by Amy Goodman with @democracynow.org about the new book, “The Problem with Plastic.” www.democracynow.org/2025/12/8/th...

In 1950, the world produced just two million tons of plastic. It now produces over 450 million tons per year. Plastic production is projected to double between 2019 and 2039.
