Air pollution, depleted natural resources, climate change: the problems are more daunting than ever. This upbeat documentary presents new solutions to the global problem of waste. Although waste may create garbage, garbage is in itself a resource, and that is the key to transforming culture, producing new industries and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The film follows the trail of trash and recycling with our guide, Robert Haley, Zero Waste Manager for the City of San Francisco, as we travel the city, high and low, and look behind the scenes at how zero waste can be achieved. Producer: Diana Fuller. Director: Christopher Beaver. (US 2014) 60 min. plus discussion.
