Is it possible to live completely waste free? In this multi-award winning, festival favourite, partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least garbage Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the problem waste.  Even as Grant and Jen start to garner interest in their project, they struggle to find meaning in their minuscule influence on the large-scale environmental impacts of our “throw-away society”. Described as An Inconvenient Truth meets Super Size Me, The Clean Bin Project features laugh out loud moments, stop motion animations, and unforgettable imagery. Captivating interviews with renowned artist, Chris Jordan and TED Lecturer Captain Charles Moore, make this film a fun and inspiring call to individual action that speaks to crowds of all ages.

clean binners hit the road

Tomorrow is our first day of our cross-Canada tour!  We still feel pretty unprepared, but we could plan for months before we felt "ready", and by then it would be winter. 

We've been getting lots of great follow up emails from people who came to the Vancouver premiere.  It looks like we'll do a Sunshine Coast/Vancouver Island tour sometime when we get back.  If you missed it, here is a little sample of the craziness at the Vancouver showing.  Thanks to  Kevan McGovern for capturing the night!

 

 We've spent so much time on logistics, that we kind of forgot that we are about to cycle 100 kms a day for the next 3 and a half months!  We'll just take each day as it comes.  I'm really looking forward to getting on the bicycle and being away from a computer for a few hours, but don't be afraid to contact us.  Through the wonders of technology, we'll still be answering the phones and updating the website.  BC, here we come!
