PPC Webinar | Plastic-Free President: The Future of U.S. Policy on Plastics

The next U.S. President will take office in January 2025, and the policies they implement over the next four years could help stop plastic pollution—or allow this urgent global crisis to worsen. So, what role should the U.S. President and the federal government play in eliminating plastic pollution? What Presidential Executive Orders could be implemented on Day 1? How can we make sure the next President prioritizes support for those who historically have been harmed most by the petrochemical plastics industry and the waste it creates: Black, Brown, Indigenous, and rural and low-income communities.

Join us on October 23, 2024, for a discussion with key allies and policy experts about recommendations and priorities for the next U.S. Administration, to protect people and the planet. These actions will be critical not only for the U.S. but for the world—since the U.S. is the world’s top plastic polluting country.

We will be joined by: Judith Enck, President, Beyond Plastics; Jenny Hernandez, Climate Justice Framework Program Manager, Green Latinos; and Alexa White PhD, Climate and Environmental Justice Policy Director, Hip Hop Caucus. This webinar will be moderated by Amy Westervelt, Executive Editor, Drilled.
