One man’s adventure through 48 US states as he finds quirky and creative solutions to our waste problem that truly benefit “people, planet, and wallet”.

By inviting us to partake in his journey, Eaves teaches us the importance of sustainable thinking first-hand. Along the way, he showcases the beautiful, quirky and ingenious ways people are transforming trash into treasure.
