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.

This vidio was a bit disappointing.Information not real well organized, and limited.Al Gore's was vastly superior.Wish these people would WORK TOGETHER instead of having to do their own thing.
Not recommended.
Rating: - Not balanced enough for school use
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high school students who were studying materials use.I was disappointed because the information at the beginning seems out of date.New landfills are much better designed with regards to groundwater pollution and methane recapture than those made 20 or 30 years ago.The production doesn't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. ...

Rating: - Good, but could have been better....
The garbage crisis in this country needs more documentaries like 'Trashed' and it brings much needed attention to the problem.That being said, this documentary could have been much better than it was.

- Trashed is a MUST see!
We reviewed this movie and are totally sure it must be seen by every American, so much waste, so little time.The landfills are not the answer.Trashed is a great film that tells the story in an engaging way.Could have more solutions, but then we must all begin to create them, and share them - that will be the next video to make.
Rating: - Great film--inspiring and motivating
This film is excellent--while the problems it highlights are certainly frustrating, the film got me fired up to make a change. There are great interviews (particularly Ray Anderson of Interface, Inc.), and I learned a lot. Highly recommended.
