Y.E.R.T (Your Environmental Road Trip) - 50 States. 1 Year. Zero Garbage? Called to action by a planet in peril, three filmmakers set out across America, traveling with hope and humor - and all of their garbage - to find solutions. Join the YERT team as they immerse themselves in America's unique approach to environmental sustainability - the good, the bad, and the weird. From a one-armed Texas cotton-farmer building the world's largest wind farm to a 92-year-old Idaho caveman; from a company making a fortune selling garbage wrapped in trash to gorgeous off-grid homes made from bottles, cans, and tires; from the first solar roadway to the first edible prairie - it's an adventure full of groundbreaking surprises.
