Plastic is everywhere: from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. But what can we really do about it and why? On Sunday, October 1 at 2 PM the Southern Vermont Art Center will host an afternoon of conversation with noted environmentalist Bill McKibben, former regional EPA administrator and Beyond Plastics founder Judith Enck and the humorist author of Year of No Garbage Eve O. Schaub, moderated by WAMC’s Joe Donahue.

Co-sponsored by the Northshire Bookstore and the Southern Vermont Art Center, tickets are $10 per person and available on Eventbrite. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the anti-plastic-waste non-profit Beyond Plastics. Tickets for a quilt raffle benefitting Beyond Plastics will also be available.
