The Revolution Starts at Home Start: 7:00 pm End: 9:00 pm Join Just Food Co-op for a free showing of the unique documentary Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home (rated G). "Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home," is a new feature length documentary by filmmaker Andrew Nisker. It candidly portrays the threat to our environment as the Mcdonald family tracks their waste output for three months. As they discover where their garbage goes and at what cost to the environment. The Mcdonald household engages the audience with an open-door reality-check. It includes meticulous tracking of consumption and waste, right down to the children's lunchboxes, that results in not only candid comments, but also some rather enlightening and even humorous moments.
