Incredible Edible Landfill

Dawn Winger, from the Howard County Recycling District taught the first graders about recycling. We need to Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle.  Each child made an edible landfill using food as each level in the landfill.  They had vanilla wafers as the soil, a fruit roll-up as the plastic liner, Twizzlers as the tubes to release methane gas, pudding and gummy bears as the trash, chocolate pudding for the dirt on top, and green sprinkles for the grass.  Yummy.  What a fun way to learn about recycling. Mrs. Stites was so pleased to see Dawn, because Dawn was in Mrs. Stites' first grade class many years ago!
