2
00:00:01,716 --> 00:00:05,131
The zero waste movement is
spreading across the United States!

3
00:00:05,131 --> 00:00:08,285
Many Americans look to Europe for
environmental solutions.

4
00:00:08,285 --> 00:00:12,370
But there are thousands of organizations 
at work right now in the USA!

5
00:00:12,370 --> 00:00:16,787
The Berkeley Tool Lending Library is a 
great example.

6
00:00:16,787 --> 00:00:20,356
At this library you can check out more 
than just books.

7
00:00:20,356 --> 00:00:24,374
You can check out dozens of 
different tools.

8
00:00:24,374 --> 00:00:26,961
For gardening

9
00:00:26,961 --> 00:00:29,475
Home repairs

10
00:00:29,475 --> 00:00:32,560
DIY projects and more!

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,986
Sharing items like these reduces resources
needed by a community.

12
00:00:36,986 --> 00:00:42,097
It allows items to be used over and over 
and repaired as needed.

13
00:00:42,097 --> 00:00:46,783
If every community did this, we'd
drastically reduce our waste!

14
00:00:46,783 --> 00:00:51,303
Amazing initiatives are popping up across
the nation.

15
00:00:51,303 --> 00:00:54,853
From repair cafes where you can bring
broken stuff to be fixed,

16
00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:59,171
to "Libraries of Things" where you can 
check out anything you imagine.

17
00:00:59,171 --> 00:01:02,738
And clothing swaps to keep clothes
from the landfill.

18
00:01:02,738 --> 00:01:06,056
At "The Fabrica" you can repair clothes 
and make goods with their

19
00:01:06,056 --> 00:01:08,579
salvaged textiles.

20
00:01:08,579 --> 00:01:12,553
At community bike shops you can learn to
fix your bike and use shared tools.

21
00:01:12,553 --> 00:01:16,928
There are even programs to help
you share excess food.

22
00:01:16,928 --> 00:01:21,030
The zero waste movement and the sharing
revolution are helping us

23
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:25,098
to clean up our planet and live more 
sustainable lives

24
00:01:25,098 --> 00:01:29,381
while contributing to the local economy 
and supporting local jobs.

25
00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:34,000
Share this video and be a part of the
zero waste movement!
