Trashy: A zero waste film, was released on Earth Day.
The average American tosses 4.4 pounds of trash every single day. That is roughly 728,000 tons of daily garbage... enough to fill 63,000 garbage trucks.
Zero waste is also a movement to reduce the amount of stuff people use and throw away. Adopting a zero or low-waste lifestyle is one of the most sustainable ways of living. Over the course of the film, director Heather Gustafson shares her journey as she attempts to live a zero-waste life, all while learning from those who have already made the switch.
On Ask the Expert, Gustafson joined the KRLD Afternoon News to discuss what she found were the struggles and successes of going zero waste for an entire year.
