Participants will also learn about current legislative efforts in New York, policies aimed at reducing plastic waste and pollution, and how individuals and organizations can take action to help move these solutions forward. We invite you to join us for this important dialogue.

From production to disposal, plastics are closely connected to toxic air pollution, chemical exposure, and long-term public health harms. This conversation will explore how these impacts show up in our communities and highlight women’s leadership in shaping environmental policy and advocacy.

This event will feature Judith Enck, founder of Beyond Plastics and former EPA Regional Administrator, for a discussion on how plastic pollution and petrochemical production impact frontline communities both locally and nationwide.

Global fertility rates have dropped over 50% in the past 50 years.

What’s driving this decline? Research from Dr. Shanna Swan shows it’s closely linked to the chemicals in plastic.
