In my opinion, these two films below are the BEST documentaries on going plastic-free/zero waste in regard to the everyday person making changes in their personal life. For me, it was very relatable for my life and very inspiring!
For decades being vegan, I was focused on the animals and the people, as many other vegans do. But a month ago, I "saw the light!", realizing that I'm not actively doing much for the environment...Then began my volunteer trash pickup, plastic-free, zero waste journey....What surprises me is living in the West Coast, I've talked to and observed many Gen Xers, Millennials and younger who couldn't care less about recycling, much less being active in at least ditching single-use plastic. They are the future, but they don't care!
Veganism is about caring for animals, people and planet, and caring about planet itself (going plastic free, zero-waste) is about non-harming animals--and us people.
I thought it would be overwhelming as I looked in my home with my eyes open to all the plastic--especially in the kitchen. But as time goes, I have almost daily purged plastic from my home, replacing plastic items with awesome alternatives, and getting a HUGE amount of education from this all!
This journey is wonderful, educational, an adventure!, fun, serious as I come to find these phenomenal plastic-free items from small businesses. I'm cooking/baking more, going to bulk bins more. It's quite an experience! My home smells better, fresher, no clutter with less plastic.
What a life changing, beautiful journey...
