Join the Bennington Garden Club and Beyond Plastics for a free presentation by Judith Enck, President of Beyond Plastics, on Sunday, October 22, 2023 at 1:00 pm at the Bennington College CAPA complex. Judith will discuss pollution caused by plastics and emphasize ways we all can reduce it and its negative impacts on our health and environment. She is a dynamic speaker who, with humor, will leave us better informed, hopeful for the future and empowered to influence it.
Judith founded Beyond Plastics in 2019 to end plastic pollution through education, advocacy, and institutional change. Passionate about protecting public health and the environment, she teaches classes on plastic pollution as a Senior Fellow and visiting faculty member at Bennington College and was recently a Visiting Scholar at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University.
Judith has held top influential positions in state and federal government. Appointed by President Obama, she served as the Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, overseeing environmental protections in NY, NJ, eight Indian Nations, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands – in addition to managing a staff of 800 and a $700M budget.
