What is the Challenge?

Six families chosen by a panel of judges are competing in our first-ever Video Compost Challenge hosted by the City of Campbell River and funded by Comox Strathcona Waste Management Service. The six families are trying their hands at composting for 30 days and documenting their experience on video. Their goal: reduce garbage, produce healthy compost and entertain us! The judges will evaluate their progress after 30 days, and one family will win the grand prize: $500 in groceries! The challenge videos will become part of a professionally produced film to air on YouTube, Shaw TV and at film festivals to promote composting and divert waste from the landfill.

This challenge was inspired by the zero waste documentary, The Clean Bin Project, which screened at the 2012 Earth Week Film Festival. To learn more, please visit http://cleanbinproject.com/.
