Must Watch: Peterborough Green-Up Presents "The Clean Bin Project"

/

Next Tuesday, Peterborough Green-Up is presenting a special screening of The Clean Bin Project (see trailer below) at the Peterborough Public Library Auditorium (August 10th, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.; cost is by donation).

The Clean Bin Project, which is currently on a national screening tour across Canada, is a documentary about a regular couple, Jen and Grant, and their quest to answer the question, "Is it possible to live completely waste free?"

Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least amount of garbage in an entire year.

Their light-hearted rivalry is set against a darker examination of the sobering problem of waste in North America.
