SUMMARY:2026 Common Agenda Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Vermont is facing unprecedented times. Federal funding and bedrock environmental laws that help ensure a healthy environment and resilient communities are at risk.

SUMMARY:The Plastic Detox: Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:***SEATING IS LIMITED*** \nJoin VPIRG\, VNRC and VCV for a free screening of the eye-opening new Netflix documentary\, The Plastic Detox\, which reframes the global plastic problem — a core driver of fossil fuel demand — as an urgent public health issue. Plastic isn’t just a pollution issue. It’s personal. Microplastics and toxic chemicals are in our brains\, our blood\, and our unborn children – with health risks linked to rising rates of chronic illnesses like cancer. This chemical exposure is harming millions of people’s fertility and stealing their right to a family. Our bodies are no place for plastic. \nREGISTER \nThe film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Rachael Z Miller (Founder\, The Rozalia Project)\, Senator Anne Watson (Chair of Vermont’s Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy)\, Representative Amy Sheldon (Chair of Vermont’s House Committee on Environment)\, and Jason Kirchick (Registered Nurse).
