WELCOME BACK TO THE GREEN BELT
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST ROB
GREEN FILM WAS ON CHEDDAR HE
WAS
WEARING A 50 POUNDS OF TRASH
LOOK AT THAT RIGHT BEFORE IT
WAS ON A MISSION JUST TO SHOW
PEOPLE HOW MUCH TRASH WE ALL
CREATE ONE
OUT GREENFIELD HAS JUST
FINISHED A YEAR OF GROWING IN
FORGING A 100% OF ITS FOOD THAT
MEANS NO GROCERIES
OR RESTAURANTS, WHATSOEVER SO
PLEASED TO BE JOINED BY ROB
GREENFIELD RON GREAT TO HAVE
YOU BACK HERE. SO WHY THE
DECISION OF THE GROWING FORGE
YOUR OWN FOOD.
>> NOW WELL, I GUESS IT TIES
BACK A LITTLE BIT TO THE FIRST
TIME AS WELL AND UM I WAS
WEARING 87 POUNDS OF TRASH JUST
LIVING LIKE THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN AT THE END OF THAT
PROJECT AND IF YOU LOOKED AT
MY TRACK STUDENT WAS MOSTLY
FOOD PACKAGING THAT'S ONE OF
THE MAIN WAYS THAT WE
COULD GARBAGE AND SO THAT'S A
PART OF IT STEPPING OUTSIDE OF
THAT AND THEN
FOR ME I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE
BURNING QUESTION IS IT POSSIBLE
TO STEP AWAY FROM
A CURRENT GLOBALIZED FOOD
SYSTEM THAT WE KNOW IS CAUSING
QUITE A BIT OF THE STRUCTURE IN
THE WORLD AND STEP AWAY FROM
THAT AND ACTUALLY
GROWING FARGE.
>> YOU KNOW 100% OF MY FOOD FOR
YOUR WILL HOW DID IT GO UM IS
IT REALISTIC FOR SOMEBODY WHOSE
DIDN'T IS NOT DEVOTING KIND OF
ALL THEIR TIME TO IT ACTUALLY
DO IT.
>> YEAH, WELL, I'M HAPPY TO SAY
I'M YOU KNOW, I'M HERE. MADE IT
FINISH THROUGH IT.
AND SO YEAR WITH NO GROCERY
STORES OR RESTAURANTS, NOTHING
PACKAGE,
NOTHING PROCESSED. I'M NOT EVEN
A DRINK AT A BAR OR GOING TO A
FARMERS MARKET.
>> LITERALLY WHAT WAS YOUR
E-MAILS WHAT DID YOU EAT WHAT
DID YOU
LIVE ON.
>> SO I ATE OVER 100 DIFFERENT
FOODS FOR MY SO PRETTY DIVERSE
FROM YOU KNOW
POTATOES AND AND YAMS AND
YOU'VE GOT A DIFFERENT GREENS
TO FRUITS AND VEGGIES AND
THEN DIE FORGED OVER 200
DIFFERENT FOODS FROM NATURE
MUSHROOMS FISH, YOU KNOW MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS AND SO IS
PRETTY DIVERSE AND THE IDEA OF
THIS ISN'T FOR ANYONE TO TRY TO
GROW AND FOR SENATE FOOD THAT'S
NOT MY MY MESSAGE I DO
EXTREME THINGS THAT ARE
DESIGNED TO CATCH PEOPLE'S
ATTENTION AND INSPIRE THEM TO
GET THEM THINKING TO QUESTION
OUR OUR LIVES AND HOW THEY
IMPACT
THE WORLD AND THEN HOPE TO MAKE
SOME POSITIVE CHANGES SO MY MY
GOT MY HOPES IS IN FOR ANYONE
THAT RIGHT DO THE JOURNEY I
EMBARKED ON, BUT IT'S ABOUT
THINKING WHAT IS MY FOOD COME
FROM AND THEN CONNECTING WITH
THAT FOOD SO LIKE HERE IN NEW
YORK FOR EXAMPLE GOING
A LOCAL FARMER'S MARKET OR
BUYING FOOD THAT'S NOT PACKAGED
AND PROCESSED FOR EXAMPLE, OK
YOU ALSO LIVE IN A TINY
HOUSE RIGHT.
>> A FEW WEEKS AGO, OKAY.
I BUILT A TINY HOUSE OF UH.
ALMOST ALL REPURPOSE MATERIAL
STUFF THAT IS LEFT OVER FROM
CONSTRUCTION.
>> FOR ABOUT.
>> 13 $1400 AS 10 BY
10 SO SMALL.
>> BUT IT GOT THE JOB I GOT RID
OF THE AND CURRENTLY EVERYTHING
THE NOW NOW FITS IN A BACKPACK
AGAIN AND AND THEN FROM
TRAVELING OUT A FLORIDA JUST
AFTER FINISHING THIS PROJECT.
>> OUR ROB WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT
40 SECONDS LEFT WITH YOU YOU
F UP BOOK CALLED FOOD FREEDOM
IT'S COMING OUT SOON WHAT YOU
WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE AWAY FROM
ALL OF THIS AND FROM READING
AND YEAH.
>> SO IT'S A LITTLE WAYS OUT
AND START READING IT WILL BE
OUT IN THE SO LITTLE TIME BUT
BASICALLY IT'S JUST REALLY JUST
ABOUT THINKING ABOUT OUR
ACTIONS
AS INDIVIDUALS ASKING OUR OUR
ACTIONS AND ALIGNMENT WITH OUR
VALUE SYSTEM AND IF NOT HOW CAN
WE
CHANGE THEM TO TO YOU KNOW
IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITIES TO
IMPROVE OUR OWN LIVES AND TO
IMPROVE THE WORLD AROUND
