Dawn of Garbage

As many of you know, for the last few months I've been helping with Garbage! The Revolution Begins At Home (on the promotions/social media side). For anyone who doesn't know: It's a film about a North York family that keeps all of their garbage for three months to demonstrate the waste output of an average household. Beyond the trash the doc gets into wastewater, household toxins and other things that leave our homes to have a direct impact on the environment.

With so many people frustrated with the inactivity of government and industry on the environment I think it's important and timely that someone asked "What's the environmental policy at your house." It is something too many people don't think about, don't fully understand and can have an impact on immediately.

The film, officially, premieres tonight and to celebrate writer/director Andrew Nisker had appearances this morning on the CBC's Metro Morning, City TV's Breakfast Television and we got a nice write up in today's Toronto Star. If you want to see the film, you won't find it in theatres, but you can get a list of upcoming screenings here.
