PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE

PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE

Michael Todd writes on environmental issues for the Pacific Standard, a publication devoted to studying “the science of society.” This 2013 essay is based on a short proposal put forward by two scientific researchers in the journal Nature. In his essay, Todd interviews these researchers and explores their ideas, putting them into conversation with other movements to ban plastic or to regulate its disposal.
