About this Event

Join us for a book discussion with Nicole Pacini, author of Wrapped in Plastic.

Explore how plastics and everyday chemicals show up in our homes, our bodies, and our routines without us realizing it. Nicole will break down what microplastics and endocrine disruptors are in plain language and share realistic, gradual steps people can take to reduce exposure without feeling overwhelmed. The conversation will center on awareness, prevention, and making informed choices.

The speaking event will take place between 1:00pm-2:00pm. Nicole will be tabling, selling, and signing her book between 11:00am-1:00pm.

About the author: Nicole Pacini is an author, speaker, and environmental health advocate based in Chicago. After navigating her own health challenges, including fibroids and breast cancer, she began exploring the connection between everyday environmental exposure and long-term wellness. She is the author of Wrapped in Plastic, a practical guide to understanding microplastics, chemicals, and how small changes at home can support better health.

About the book: Wrapped in Plastic helps readers understand how environmental exposure impacts health in ways that are often overlooked. The book translates complex topics like microplastics and hormone disruption into practical guidance and weekly micro-actions that feel manageable. It is designed for anyone who wants to make more informed decisions about their home, health, and future.
