Welcome to the Children’s Garbage Museum in Connecticut, where piles of trash teach children to recycle, and Trashosauraus reigns supreme.
Connecticut has facilities to turn trash into energy, but still has an overabundance of garbage, exporting 400 thousand tons of garbage every year. Host Bruce Gellerman pays a visit to the Trashosaurus at the Children’s Garbage Museum in Stratford, Connecticut. The museum’s goal is to educate kids about the five R’s ? reduce, reuse, recycle, recover and re-think.
