“Hand Me Downs” is a short (3:42) docu-drama about the importance of reducing our consumption, reusing what we can, recycling when possible and returning when advisable. This film has been recently re-edited and the audio remastered. ©2023
What are we leaving our children? “Hand Me Downs” asks this question by showing what happens when trash is passed from generation to generation. It dramatizes what we are doing every day in this country and around the world. We are leaving our trash for our children.
This film was inspired by a comment from Amy Helgeson as she was driving the garbage truck for Hawkeye Sanitation and Recycling.
“What are these people even thinking? Throwing their recyclables in the trash?”
