Film Synopsis:

Trashed is a provocative investigation of one of the fastest growing industries in North America: the garbage business. The film examines a fundamental element of modern American culture - the disposal of what our society defines as “waste.” This is an issue influenced by every American, most of whom never consider the consequences, nor, it seems, the implications to our biosphere.

At times humorous, but deeply poignant, Trashed examines the American waste stream fast approaching a half billion tons annually. The film analyzes the causes and effects of the seemingly innocuous act of “taking out the garbage” while showcasing individuals, activists, corporate and advocacy groups working to affect change and reform the current model. Trashed is an informative and thought-provoking film everyone interested in the future of sustainability should see.
