The Hidden Life of Garbage



  •  
This is a short 19-minute documentary about recycling and waste in the U.S. based on the book of the same name by Heather Rogers. The film has great facts and a funny archive. It exposes the often magical (but false) feeling we get from 'helping the earth' by 'recycling' It also points out the real problems: over-production and industrial pollution. Plus it explains corporate greenwashing and our economic system of 'built-in obsolescence'.
