QUITTING PLASTICEasy and practical ways to cut down the plastic in your life

Clara Williams Roldan with Louise Williams

ALLEN & UNWIN 9781760528713 | $19.99 | | PB | CURRENT AFFAIRS

How to reduce plastic in your everyday life, starting with changes that are small and easy to make, and working up to bigger

changes to your daily routine

Where do you start if you want to reduce the plastic in your life? Especially when most of us are wearing it, eating and drinking from it, sitting on it, walking on it, travelling in it and probably even ingesting it. Anywhere you go, plastic is within easy reach—even in Antarctica and the North Pole.

Clara Williams Roldan and Louise Williams didn't quit plastic overnight. In fact, it's still a work in progress. But along the way, they have learnt a lot—researching the issue from the grass roots up, speaking to people and finding out what works and what doesn't. They take on the tricky questions, like 'how will I wash my hair?', 'what about plastic-free periods?', 'what about my bin liner?' and 'is this going-to be expensive?' As they continue to remove throw-away plastics from their daily lives, they’ve discovered they are friendlier with their local communities, are eating more healthy food, and that de-cluttering happens by itself. It feels great!

Clara Williams-Roldan is a young policy and legislative advisor in NSW Parliament writing with her mother, Louise Williams, a Walkley-award-winning journalist with a lifelong interest in environmental protection.

Be A Man. The big lie we tell little boys. Most men live in a 'Man Box' where they are expected to be tough, strong, stoic, silent, enduring, non-communicative—the list goes on. The Man Box and those learned qualities are the wellspring for suicide, domestic violence and will even bar men from the jobs of the future. Entertaining, moving and utterly crucial, The Revolution of Man urges men to jump out of the Man Box, reconnect with their emotions, and start living satisfying and happy lives.

Charlotte Gibson is a lawyer with a brilliant career ahead of her. As her father Ray says, she could be the next female Indigenous Waleed Aly. But she has other ideas. She's in love. The thing is, her fiancé, Francis Smith, is not what her family expected—he's unemployed, he's an experimental composer. . . and he's white! Love is never just black and white. It's complicated by class, politics, ambition and too much wine over dinner. But for Charlotte and Francis, it's mostly complicated by family. Secrets are revealed, prejudices outed and old rivalries get sorted through. Award-winning writer Nakkiah Lui shows why she is one of this country's most in-demand young voices, delivering cutting satire that is both seductively subversive and thoroughly delightful.

Nakkiah Lui is the co-writer and star of Black Comedy, co-host of the podcast Pretty for an Aboriginal and has been a playwright-in-residence for Sydney's Belvoir Theatre. She is a Gamilaroi/Torres Strait Islander woman and a leader in the Australian Aboriginal community.
