Canadians produce more garbage per person than just about any other country in the world. On average, each person in Ontario generates a whole tonne of trash a year! When that much garbage is generated, it creates problems. It's time to do our part and make a difference!
Find out more about where it all comes from and what you can do.

Please don't cut the little creatures in half to see if they grow into two worms. They don't. You'll just kill it. Worms are delicate animals and need to be treated with care. If a tiny part of a worm is cut off (like the tail end), it can heal and eventually grow back. This is called regeneration. The best way to get more worms is to give them a little bit of TLC (Tender Loving Care). Before you know it, you will have more than enough worms.

You can make a worm box and keep some red wigglers as pets. Or make a compost holder to keep by the sink and make it easy to carry the kitchen scraps to the composter. Why not try making your own recycled paper?
You'll also find word games and cross-word puzzles on the Waste Fun Stuff page.
