Reaching the Post-Plastic Age for True Sustainability
Untangling Plastics: The Missing Link in Mitigating Climate Change reveals a critical but widely overlooked truth: Plastic is not just a pollution problem. It is a climate problem, a public health problem, and a systems problem hiding in plain sight.
Written for policymakers, sustainability leaders, educators, and climate-focused readers, this book explains how plastics derived from fossil fuels drive greenhouse gas emissions at every stage of their life cycle, from extraction and production to disposal. It also examines how plastic pollution impacts human health, ecosystems, and frontline communities worldwide.
Unlike many climate change books that focus solely on energy or high-level policy, Untangling Plastics connects the dots between plastics, climate disruption, and real-world consequences. It goes beyond theory to highlight practical actions by individuals, institutions, and governments that can meaningfully reduce plastic dependence and climate risk.
Clear, accessible, and grounded in evidence, Untangling Plastics equips readers with the knowledge needed to understand why the elimination of plastics must be part of any serious climate solution and what can be done to address the problem now.
