The students in Mr. Schnare’s class learned a lot from Betty Lovestrash, the visiting garbologist who visited their classroom. Even more eye-opening than investigating their own class garbage was seeing where it all actually goes. The field trip to the Nelson Transfer Station, the Ootischenia Landfill, and the Brilliant Recycling Centre helped everyone understand that when it comes to trash, there really is no such thing as ‘away’.
