Rob is the embodiment of a life long learner, achieving multiple and multi-faceted degrees.

While climate change denial garners headlines, the true obstacle to climate action isn't public concern—a majority of Americans are worried. Instead, the real roadblock is our collective

While climate change denial garners headlines, the true obstacle to climate action isn't public concern—a majority of Americans are worried. Instead, the real roadblock is our collective unwillingness to financially support solutions.

This insight comes from David Wallace-Wells, a national fellow at New America and columnist for New York magazine. His latest book is The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. Read more at BigThink.com.

Podcast/Inteview with Judith Enck by EarthSayers Cinema, produced by EarthSayer Bob Trench.

MISSION: Our mission is to end plastic pollution everywhere.

ABOUT: Launched in January 2019 and based at Bennington College, Beyond Plastics pairs the wisdom and experience of environmental policy experts with the energy and creativity of grassroots advocates to build a vibrant and effective movement to end plastic pollution. We use our deep policy and advocacy expertise to build a well-informed, effective movement seeking to achieve the institutional, economic, and societal changes needed to save our planet, and ourselves, from the negative health, climate, and environmental impacts of the production, usage, and disposal of plastics.

GOALS: It will take changes at every level of our economy and civil life to stem the tide of plastic pollution. Individuals need to be moved to act in their personal lives and take action as part of a growing movement; corporations need to feel the pressure to initiate changes in their purchasing and packaging habits; governments need to impose bans and adopt laws that require extended producer responsibility; and new manufacturing of plastic has to be prevented from spreading. Beyond Plastics seeks to educate the media, policymakers, and the public on the plastic pollution crisis; encourage businesses to eliminate single-use plastics; train students to become leaders in the anti-plastics movement; and help block new plastic manufacturing and plastic burning facilities.
