How much garbage do you throw out? How much of what you dispose of is really necessary?

And where does it all go?

The film “Garbage!” tackles these issues in a unique way. Andrew Nisker’s documentary centers around the lives of a family who took on his challenge: to keep their garbage in their garage for 3 months.

You can watch a short trailer on the site and even see a the first 20 minutes of the film by registering. Or read more about it on TVGuide or on Out of Green.

The “Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home” site is a useful resource: it encourages you to tell people your story about Garbage and contribute to Garbage 2, take action by doing things like hosting a screening party for the film, and offers a downloadable list of actions you can take to reduce garbage (note: it’s in PDF form.)
