00:00I am a product of an extreme society.
00:04I decided to use my life as a form of entertainment
00:09to get people to critically think about the issues of our time.
00:13Rob Greenfield's doing what sounds like the impossible.
00:15To spend an entire year living off the land.
00:18He has dumpster dined from at least 500 bins.
00:22A man on a grueling journey to protect Mother Earth.
00:24And is now in the midst of what he calls an experiment in non-ownership.
00:28I have $200, I think around $240.
00:34This safety net will be gone.
00:37That's more nerve-wracking than it is exciting.
00:40Everything I own is right here.
00:42Right here with me actually.
00:44I'm going to get rid of every single thing.
00:47The corporations, the government,
00:49the last thing they want for us is to be the master of our own mind
00:52and that's all I'm talking about.
00:53If you want to think I'm crazy, think I'm crazy.
00:56In order to have our comfort in this society,
01:00whether it's the earth, other people,
01:02or whether it's plants and animals,
01:06others are paying for it.
01:11Not that long ago,
01:13it was at the core of my desire
01:16to become a millionaire.
01:18The American dream.
01:20His name is Rob Greenfield.
01:21Rob Greenfield.
01:22Rob Greenfield.
01:23Robin Greenfield.
01:25And now,
01:26I want to own nothing.
01:29If any of you have been following me for the last 10 years,
01:31know that I haven't done this before.
01:33I have about 1,500 miles to go.
