YERT (Your Environmental Road Trip): 50 States. 1 Year. Zero Garbage?

As the YERT team layers outlandish eco-challenges onto their year-long quest, an unexpected turn of events pushes them to the brink in this award-winning docu-comedy. Featuring Bill McKibben, Wes Jackson, Will Allen, Janine Benyus, Joel Salatin, David Orr, and others.The YERT Feature Film received the Audience Award at the Environmental Film Festival at Yale,
