Would Wearing 30 Days Of Your Own Trash Change The Way You Consume? Environmental Activist Rob Greenfield Shows People What That Looks Like

Green with Tiffany

For "Plastic Free July", I talked with Rob Greenfield. He's an environmental activist, humanitarian, writer, adventurer and friend. He chooses to take on extreme projects in an effort to inspire people to want to make a change. His latest project has been to wear all of his trash, by living like the average person, as he says "floating along in the breeze of consumerism". I spoke to him on the last day of wearing 30 days of his waste. Rob tells us all about the experience and the response he got. You might be surprised. We also chatted about how he started on this venture of living a more simple, sustainable life and his numerous extreme projects he's taken on over the years. I had the chance to see him literally grow over the 30 days while he was here in Los Angeles and watch his commitment and laser focus for this project he completed and why it's so important to him. Listen in to hear his sustainable story and why "sustainability to me is freedom".
