It looks like an interesting film, most notably because it has the great Jeremy Irons in it, but also for the subject matter. As a kid I assumed they turned all trash heaps in to ski hills. That's what they did in my home town. We try to minimize the amount of packaging/bags/bottled water etc that we use. We are always shocked by the amount of trash that others have. When people visit/stay with us the amount of trash we have should naturally increase but it shouldn't quadruple because two people are staying with us. -This happens with certain guests. People use disposable bags all of the time for things they could carry. They get to-go boxes for a smidgeon of food that they could just eat at the restaurant etc. I'll check this film out when it comes out. Visually, it looks great.
I like that it seems like such a high quality production for a movie about a topic of such high importance and urgency. We seem to be so focused on fighting CO2 and global warming that other massive issues are passing us by. This being one of them. Even though these are somewhat related issues, I'd say controlling CO2 will be a lot easier than controlling the consumption and waste habits of humans. At least CO2 is a natural gas that can be reabsorbed into biomass through rehabilitating forests and degraded landscapes (ie plant trees!). Non-biodegradable waste on the other hand isn't going anywhere and will be way more challenging to reuse, recycle, clean up, hide away and eventually control completely.
