Our climate and climate crisis is, to say the least, multi-faceted and diverse. Humans' profound impacts on our planet, from pollution to deforestation, to burning fossil fuels, are all interconnected, enormously complex and, ultimately, challenging to comprehend and address as a whole. This is why, to make true substantial change, we need to start with a more nuclear mindset: what can we personally do to dip our toes into climate activism that will help to set off a chain of events eventually leading to the larger change? In "Addressing Inevitability: Composting for a Healthier Earth," starting nuclear is the foundational ideal. It begins with a practice at home, collecting food waste and bringing it to a local farm, that develops into a practice an entire high school in which New Mexico participates, effectively lowering one carbon footprint but paving the way for many others to follow. With facts and figures on methane emissions from food waste in landfills intertwined with storytelling, this film takes knowledge and education to acts of change.

Addressing Inevitability: Composting for a Healthier Earth

This film grapples with the devastating environmental impact of food consumption and how throwing food waste into trash cans instead of compost bins brings us leaps closer to destroying our planet.
