Taste the Waste
Our Eco Film on Friday, January 4th, 2013, will be Taste the Waste.
2010 – 88 minutes. Directed by Valentin Thurn. German. W/subtitles in English.
A documentary from Germany about the worldwide destruction of food. Why do we throw away so much? And how can we stop this kind of waste? Amazing but true: On the way from the farm to the dining-room table, more than half the food lands on the dump. Most of it before it ever reaches consumers. Noting that food thrown away in Europe and North America alone could feed the world’s hungry three times over, “Taste the Waste” offers a globe-trotting survey of conspicuous consumption’s downside and some bright ideas on how the so-called garbage can be re-used to benefit all.
