Wa$ted New Zealand Episode: Nappy Nightmare

Meet the perfect Petelo family: Patrick, Javia, Janya, and Donelle (who has one on the way). This is a nice family, who live in a nice new house, on a nice street in a nice new suburb. But they throw away twice as much rubbish as most other families, and that's not nice. We're trucking back six months' worth of their terrible trash to wake them up to their wasteful ways.

In this New Zealand version of the popular series, Wa$ted! hosts Francesca Price and Tristan Glendinning take the average household full of eco-horrors and turn it into a clean, green haven--saving participants serious cash in the process. Each household has three weeks to reduce its consumption, going on a "green regime" to clean up their act. All improvements in energy efficiency and waste reduction are awarded to the households dollar for dollar for the recognized savings in the three weeks.
