[watch trailer]

Sunday 10/18, 1:30 PM (Session 8)

Director: Christopher Beaver
Producer: Diana Fuller

Description:
Garbage, air pollution, disappearing natural resources, destroyed oceans — the stakes are higher than ever. Is there anything we, individually, can still do about it? Racing To Zero presents new solutions to these global problems. This film examines our society's garbage practices in terms of consumption, preparation, use and production, and discovers some amazing solutions in San Francisco, which is successfully taking the necessary steps to reach zero waste. Three years ago the mayor of San Francisco pledged to achieve zero waste by 2020.
