Background: The theme for this Season of Creation is Living Water. How can we protect the living water in our oceans and rivers from the dangers of plastic? Our human bodies, which are 60% water, are also under threat. Consider reading and reflection on the book, and then joining us for this 3-session online conversation on The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves And Our Planet Before It’s Too Late, by Judith Enck with Adam Mahoney. Judith Enck is a former Regional Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, and the president of Beyond Plastics.
Published in 2025 by The New Press, the book offers a brief history of plastics; information on plastic, how and where it is in our bodies, daily lives and world; false and real solutions.
