DESCRIPTION:TRASHED \nPresented by Grant Williams \nfrom Transition East Bay\n\nThis 
 evening begins with a potluck supper before the film at 6:30 pm. Bring your 
 favorite food! \n\nThis new documentary 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 or, 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. The film takes us on a road 
 trip through the afterlife of your garbage. It dives into a trash can and 
 comes up in some surprising places. From the garbage truck to the landfill, 
 from the streets to the ocean, it explores America's complicated 
 relationship with its waste through the lens of the people whose lives 
 revolve around it. 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. 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? \n\nGrant will 
 facilitate a discussion after the film showing. \n\nWheelchair accessible 
 around the corner at 411 28th Street \n\nBefore and after the film, 
 everyone's invited to indulge in our organic, vegetarian refreshments 
 \n\n$5 donations are accepted   \n  \n\n
