2022 | 44 mins

View on CBC Gem

With humour, crazy stunts and stunning animations, Curb Your Carbon reveals the simple and effective ways we can all help fight climate change.

Curb Your Carbon travels the world to uncover a list of things we can do right now -- think waste less food, eat less meat and eat more bugs. It’s also narrated by a very funny and very famous Hollywood actor who will make you laugh and show you how to cut tonnes of C02 with a little help from:

  • A Guelph family of garbage stealing Ninjas
  • A Vancouver bug exterminator who eats crickets, grasshoppers and scorpions
  • A class of Whitehorse students who cut C02 by fixing their Phones
  • A German racing driver who never hits the gas
  • A Montreal activist who turns plastic waste into amazing art
  • A group of tree-planting Mom’s in Kenya
  • Competing twins who race across Hamilton from A to B to reduce C02
  • And a culinary double dare involving a New Zealand rugby team and a mob of methane-producing sheep
This timely documentary also unveils extraordinary animations that transform climate change stats into numbers that make sense. Rather than talk about “a tonne of CO2,” Curb Your Carbon will turn it into a weight and drop it on a car.

Curb Your Carbon may be irreverent, but it also provides a clear blueprint for fighting climate change: Working together we have the power to cut C02 emissions, give our beautiful planet a break and save ourselves in the bargain.
