Garbage lessons not lost on viewers 
By: Jessica Young
Keep three months’

worth of garbage in your garage. Instead of throwing trash to the curb, pile all that waste and watch it sit and rot. 
Sounds like a crazy idea, but the McDonald family of Toronto did just that as the subjects of a new environmental documentary called Garbage! The Revolution Starts At Home, by Toronto filmmaker Andrew Nisker.

The 11th Hour and Garbage!

11thHourAction.com – the blog for Leonardo DiCaprio’s film the 11th Hour has done a nice writeup on Garbage! The Revolution Begins At Home

“Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home,” is a new feature length documentary by filmmaker Andrew Nisker. It candidly portrays the threat to our environment as the Mcdonald family tracks their waste output for three months. As they discover where their garbage goes and at what cost to the environment. The Mcdonald household engages the audience with an ‘open-door reality-check.’ It includes meticulous tracking of consumption and waste, right down to the children’s lunchboxes, that results in not only candid comments, but also some rather enlightening and even humorous moments.

We’ve also gotten good press in The Green News

(TORONTO, ON, Monday, October 29, 2007) – On November 19, 2007 independent filmmaker and concerned father Andrew Nisker invites audiences everywhere to be a part of the World premiere of the documentary Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home and to help launch a global grassroots movement to combat the heavy toll household waste is exacting on the environment. Nisker is challenging the public to start a global garbage revolution!

And in Media in Canada

Independent filmmaker and interactive specialist Andrew Nisker has launched a viral marketing campaign to boost the positive effects he’s hoping will be sparked by his documentary Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home. The film portrays a Toronto family as they track their waste output for three months, find out where it all goes and learn about the impact it has on the environment.

From Emily Hunter

For those of you who aren’t in the Facebook Group for Garbage! Emily Hunter, daughter of Greenpeace founder Bob Hunter left us a lovely message.

I’ve seen the film, it is amazing!

My father, Bob Hunter, would be thrilled with what Andrew has done. He took my fathers words and actually went beyond a change of consciousness into projecting real action, by making this film that I hope will bring a kind of revolution to Canadians, North Americans, Earthlings.

Cheers to you David, you are one of the only people I know that went beyond honoring my father and instead learned from my father. You learned to take a risk for something bigger than ourselves, this planet.

Your film and you as a person help give me more hope.

All the best, Emily Hunter

First Easy Tip

So, we’re kindof in waiting mode right now, I mean everyone involved is doing their best to get the word out, but no reviews to tell you about yet and the premiere isn’t until the 19th. So, as I mentioned in the first post:

I’m always on the lookout for good blogs to add to the blogroll (on your right) and for tips on how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. The latest blog added to the list is “Tiny Choices” which is all about small, easy steps you can take to have an impact. For example, if you can’t get a low-flow toilet for whatever reason:

Find a plastic beverage bottle which will fit nicely, fill it with water and cap it. Insert the bottle into the tank, replace the lid, et voila, you’ve just reduced your water consumption.

If you have other sites I should know about feel free to drop a comment.
