your environmental road trip

50 states. 1 year. Zero garbage? Called to action by a planet in peril, three filmmakers set out across America, traveling with hope and humor and all of their garbage to find solutions. Join the YERT team as they immerse themselves in America's unique approach to environmental sustainability -- the good, the bad, and the weird. From a one-armed Texas cotton-farmer building the world's largest wind farm to a 92-year-old Idaho caveman; from a company making a fortune selling garbage wrapped in trash to gorgeous off-grid homes made from bottles, cans, and tires; from the first solar roadway to the first edible prairie, it's an adventure full of groundbreaking surprises. Inspiring and often hilarious, YERT highlights the courageous and creative individuals, groups, businesses, and leaders who are tackling the greatest environmental threats in history, and celebrates the American spirit in the face of adversity. Featuring Bill McKibben, Wes Jackson, Will Allen, Janine Benyus, Joel Salatin, Tom Szaky, David Orr, and others
