Film description from Escape the Waste

We live in challenging times. Waste from mass consumption has led to pollution and climate change that is threatening human survival and our planet's existence. While recognition and awareness are important, direct action is by far more effective. But traditional recycling has not been the solution that we were led to believe.

The solution is simple and it’s "nothing new"... REUSE! Reuse offers a more sustainable solution that everyone can be a part of.

REUSE Because You Can't Recycle The Planet. follows reuse edutainer Alex Eaves' cross-country adventure to the 48 contiguous U.S. states. On his journey, Alex finds endless reuse solutions for our waste problem that are not only sustainable, but many of which are easy and fun. And he learns just how reuse truly benefits our people, our planet, and our wallet.

This documentary isn't about our waste problem. It's about solutions. And they are everywhere!
