On June 11, 2023, Mohonk Consultations hosted 180 people at the Mohonk Mountain House Skating Pavilion to celebrate and honor Judith A. Enck. Judith is the founder and president of Beyond Plastics, a not-for-profit dedicated to eliminating plastic pollution. Enck, her staff and volunteers have been focused on legislation for New York called the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Act. When adopted, it will be the most effective plastic packaging reduction policy in the world.
Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger lauded Judith’s work, as well as Ramon Cruz, previously deputy director of Puerto Rico’s environmental regulatory agency and recent president of the national Sierra Club, describing Judith as someone who did not give up her advocate’s heart when she became an administrator. Attendees left with more knowledge, resolve, and a feeling of lightness and gratitude – for Judith Enck and the people, ideas, and actions she brings together.
