REUSE! Because You Can't Recycle The Planet. Documentary Cover with laurels

REUSE! Because You Can't Recycle The Planet.

This is Alex Eaves' first award winning documentary. The film follows his cross-country adventure to the 48 contiguous U.S. states. On his journey, Alex finds endless reuse solutions for our waste problem that are not only sustainable, but many of which are easy and fun. And he learns just how reuse truly benefits people, planet, and wallet.

 

The film also showcases Alex's role as a connecter. Alex has been successfully connecting individuals and organizations to reuse solutions all around the country. This film isn't about our waste problem. It's about solutions. And they are everywhere!

 

The film is available to watch online and we offer various screening licenses. A screening of the film is a great way to promote the reuse movement to your school, community, non-profit group, neighborhood etc. We offer numerous promotional materials to help make for a successful screening. Eaves also created a 16-page discussion guide, filled with questions about the film and the reuse movement.
