Movie Reviews of TRASHED

Movie Review: Not balanced enough for school use
Summary: 3 Stars

I looked at Trashed for use with high school students who were studying materials use. I was disappointed because the information at the beginning seems out of date. New landfills are much better designed with regards to groundwater pollution and methane recapture than those made 20 or 30 years ago. The production doesn't present much information from someone involved with building a new one. In many states, you can't put yard waste into the landfill anymore, a big point of the composting segment. Students might get more from a video that actually shows how a large recycling system sorts the mixed trash because many people won't sort their trash. Trashed doesn't present much about the largest component of the waste stream, mainly construction debris -- used concrete, roofing materials, mixed wood and gypsum walls, etc. I would have liked more information about the efforts being made in Europe to design products with their eventual reuse or disposal in mind. There has to be more out there than the Interface company which shows up in almost every documentary related to sustainable economies.

Summary of TRASHED

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." It 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.

What are the effects all this waste will have on already strained natural resources? Why is so much of it produced? While every American creates almost 5 pounds of it every day, who is affected most? And who wants America to make more?

The film analyzes the causes and effects of the seemingly innocuous act of "taking out the garbage" while showcasing the 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.
