Plastics
Authors: Imari Walker-Franklin and Jenna Jambeck
In Plastics, the authors explore the entire life of plastic things—plastics production and use, plastic waste generation and management, the environmental and societal impacts of plastics in our environment, and, finally, the policies that can help reduce pollution caused by our heavy use of plastics. Plastics covers not only ocean and terrestrial plastic pollution but also the potential harms of microplastics on the human body. The authors also explain why we use plastic for so many products, how trash ends up in even the most remote corners of our world, and the alternatives and interventions that can help address our overreliance on this virtually imperishable material. As easily digestible to read as it is important, this book empowers its readers with the crucial knowledge and information they need to make thoughtful consumer choices, influence change, and spark inspiration.

A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies
Author: Matt Simon
In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so useful and ubiquitous—its toughness—means it never really goes away. It just gets smaller and smaller: eventually small enough to enter your lungs or be absorbed by crops or penetrate a fish’s muscle tissue before it becomes dinner. Be sure to check out the PPC webinar featuring author Matt Simon.

Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis
Author: Erica Cirino
Journalist and PPC Communications Manager Erica Cirino brings readers on a globe-hopping journey to meet the scientists and activists telling the real story of the plastic crisis. Thicker Than Water reveals that the plastic crisis is also a tale of environmental injustice, as poorer nations take in a larger share of the world’s trash, and manufacturing chemicals threaten predominantly Black and low-income communities. There is some hope on the horizon, with new laws banning single-use items and technological innovations to replace plastic in our lives. But Cirino shows that we can only fix the problem if we face its full scope and begin to repair our throwaway culture. Be sure to check out the PPC webinar featuring Erica Cirino.

Watershed: Attending to Body and Earth in Distress
Author: Ranae Lenor Hanson
A personal health crisis, stories from environmental refugees, and our climate in danger prompt a meditation on intimate connections between the health of the body and the health of the ecosystem. What if we tended to an ailing ecosystem just as we care for ourselves in the throes of a medical condition? This possibility is explored in Watershed, a work that is at once a memoir of illness and health, a contemplation of the surrounding natural world in distress, and a reflection on how these come together in opportunities for healing. Author Ranae Lenor Hanson’s daughter, Amelia Hanson, is a Project Manager at Plastic Pollution Coalition for the Flip the Script on Plastics initiative.
