There’s no question that we need to significantly shift if we hope to prevent the impending climate crisis-but it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. Rather than being fatigued or even paralyzed by the daunting task of tackling climate change as a whole, a family of five is forging a hopeful path forward by making living sustainably more accessible.
Zero Time to Waste follows one family’s journey of living zero-waste in the middle of San Diego-a social movement they hope to see grow as they inspire small changes in their local community. By growing their own food, not producing any waste, choosing alternative transportation, and saving $18,000 annually in the process-everyday tasks are more intentional, and they’re happier for it. This compelling portrait is a hopeful reimagining of what it looks like to be conscious citizens in the midst of daunting statistics and the peak of consumer culture. Combining social theory, environmental research, and a heartwarming glimpse into one family’s path -this film encapsulates the idea of being the change you wish to see as there really is no time to waste.

that was pretty well done and I do agree the doom and gloom angle is not the way to go. I always say "it's about doing what you can with what you have".
Thank you
Love the community building aspect of what your family is doing. I feel that the social energy that’s created when people gather over a common concern is essential to keeping a movement literally moving. Thanks for your effort in putting this video out there to inspire others.
Thank you so much. We love growing a community and seeing the ripples of what we do effect others and how they start their own sustainable journey, reducing waste. We firmly believe that we will inspire change through being an example, not our opinions.
I absolutely loved watching this video!!
I’ll definitely be recommending it to others! As a family, your so inspiring and it was wonderful to see how easily your kiddos have adapted to a zero waste lifestyle 🙌❤️ Great job to you both as parents!!
Thank you 💚
Look what was still in my watch later! Morning!
Good morning! Please enjoy 😊
This was amazing. You should be proud. I understand that you are selling your house, going to Sweden for the summer, and just taking a break. Well, with the current political climate, I wouldn't hate you for staying in Sweden. If I had options like that, I would do the same. I wish you all the luck in finding a new home and hope to keep watching your progress. The best of luck to you and your family.
Thank you so much. I know with what is going sometimes it’s tempting to move to Sweden but of course we have the war conflict there with Putin on war path 😩
This is incredibly well made. Definitely deserves more attention.
Thank you
This video is amazing, your family is so inspiring! I remember growing up we didn't have a TV and we always used to play board games etc and I do feel like we were much better off for it. I've noticed with my children that allowing them to be bored is great because they do the most creative things then. 🧡
It’s amazing how we notice a difference the times they have had some more screen time and suddenly their imagination is gone.
@@dawnreynolds2991 I had the same kind of childhood and we always baked and cooked from scratch and we had no TV.
Love this!
Thank you
This is fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you 😊
How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
