The Clean Bin Project
Is it possible to live completely waste free? Partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to swear off consumerism and produce the least amount of garbage in an entire year. Their refreshingly comedic battle is set against a sobering examination of our “throw-away” society and shocking images from Seattle artist Chris Jordan. This multi-award winning film tackles the serious issue of waste with optimism, humor and inspiration for individual action.
