the clean bin project: documentary film about zero waste

We had our first screenings today with a 50 minute student version of The Clean Bin Project.

It was really, really hard to trim 25 minutes off the film, but a shorter version fits better in a class block. We were pretty nervous for our first test screening of the kids cut, but it went awesome! We did two back to back blocks at Van Tech Secondary, and the students were really receptive. They asked all the hard questions right off the bat - like what about toilet paper and condoms and feminine hygiene - you know, the important stuff.

We even got to sign a couple autographs which seriously made us feel like rockstars. (excuse the crappy photo, but we just had to record that moment).

We're going to make a couple tiny tweaks, and then we hope to have the short DVD cuts available to schools. By September, we hope to have school districts all over showing The Clean Bin Project and chatting zero waste!
