The peg leg production film Clean Bin played last night here in Merritt about 60 people watched and then asked questions of the stars. The Contractor working for the regional district had a box to recycle batteries and cell phones as well. The film was admission by donation. and the question arose why it was poorly attended the producer said that there was a disconnect with the CBC at this showing and said that their preference is two showings per community.

Some powerful imagery was presented in the film including albatross chicks from Midway Island in the pacific apparently dead with plastic waste in their stomachs.

The issue of the Cache Creek land fill came up in the film and on the phone witha regional district offical said that that was not his mandate however lasndfill costs run about 100 dollars a ton. And to presnt alternatives was a concern of the District.

Our view is that the films attempt to show a concern for reuse  and recycle gave a good sence of a relief of the social pressure that sometimes keeps people using and consuming new products and plastic wrapping.

Live smart and make some choices against extra packaging and you will please the producers of this film.
