Waste? is a new web documentary series featuring people whose livelihoods capitalize on what gets thrown away: canners scouring the streets for redeemables; engineers powering their breweries with waste water; architects constructing homes out of tires.  The series explores what motivates this type of reuse: worldviews, necessity, bottom lines.  It’s got a good takeaway message–“let’s think about how to reuse what we normally throw away”–but is also just a collection of interesting human stories.  Four webisodes posted thusfar.
