Garbage!

Description

Examines the problem posed by the vast amounts of garbage produced in the industrialized world and the effects of this output on nature, by following an average family in Toronto--and the garbage they produce over a three month period. 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.'
