Those words only begin to describe the life of this environmental activist. The Detroit native has lived in a small Nashville apartment for more than two decades, working to "salvage what's left of the earth." He lives on roughly $3,600 per year. Shunning cars, computers and other luxuries, he runs everywhere he goes, uses a rotary phone and recycles or reuses materials to astonishing efficiency. He picks leaves from wild poke plant for greens, glues recovered soles to his running shoes when they wear out, and cuts his own hair. Living frugally allows van der Harst to work only when he wants to--and devote the rest of his time to issues he deems important, like solid waste management. He is active in a number of social movements and well-known in local politics. He has also been sued by corporations he has worked to shut down. Red Clay Pictures--through interviews with van der Harst, friends, politicians, activists and others--provides a fascinating look at one man's unique lifestyle and brand of activism.
