Video - Scenes From a Landfill

If you are unable to go visit a landfill as suggested in our last post, here is a short video you may wish to share with the kids. Be sure to keep an eye on the bottom of the screen for some interesting facts. As the video is only 3 minutes long, you will probably want to spend a bit of time discussing it afterward. Although it's short, it will definitely give you a lot to think about!
