Last month, our 2024 MEC speaker, Rachael Zoe Miller, published her first book, Decision-Making in the Age of Plastics! It's a choose-your-own-adventure style guide to making purchasing and acquisition decisions that balance your and your family's health, the planet and your budget. She wrote it as a companion/follow-up to her presentations - like the Science and Solutions for a Clean Ocean talk she gave last year. She is offering our group a 15% discount on the book when you buy a Cora Ball.

The code is DMAP+CB when you put any number of Cora Balls and books in your cart on www.coraball.com. If you prefer reading ebooks, it is available on both Kindle and Apple Books. Learn more on https://coraball.com/products/decision-making-in-the-age-of-plastics. If you have questions, please email [email protected]

Rachael says a big hello and hopes everyone enjoyed (and is still enjoying) heaps of time in and around the ocean and bay!
