A man in a supermarket loads his trolley with an excessive amount of food. Back at home, this quickly becomes an excessive amount of waste, flung into a dump truck. The neighbouring houses and restaurants are also chucking an absurd amount of waste into the truck. Before long, it becomes clear that the whole planet is filled with waste. A rocket ship zooms off to the Moon, as though trashing the
Moon will solve the problem of waste on Earth. Yet an alien on the Moon has another idea, and throws the waste back down to Earth. This short, sixty-second film packs a punch as a tool for dialogue. The clear themes of sustainable development/climate change can be developed to consider human rights and citizenship.
Viewers aged 8-11 years old, and perhaps 12-15 years old, will be inspired by the clear message of this animation from the Baltic region.
