Beth Gardiner is an American journalist based in London. Her work has been published in outlets including The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, The Washington Post, and Scientific American, and she's a former longtime Associated Press reporter. Her first book, Choked: The Age of Air Pollution and the Fight for a Cleaner Future, was named one of 2019 best by The Guardian, and was a finalist for the National Association of Science Writers' Science in Society book award.

In Plastic Inc., Beth Gardiner has written my favorite kind of non-fiction: a readable, scrupulous, and fascinating book that strips away lies and obfuscation to show what's really happening in the world.
