This weekend, Roseville parents can take their kids to a community sponsored event intended to heighten awareness of waste products generated in the home and the impact they can have on the environment. Parents may learn a thing or too as well.
Blue Line Arts, a nonprofit operating in the South Placer community, will be presenting ‘Curby's Waste-A-Palooza’. The program offers a kid-friendly way to demonstrate what happens to the stuff in our trash cans and recycle bins once it is picked up and carried away from our homes, or goes down the drain.
Kids will get to crawl around and through a demonstration obstacle course, and take part in a quiz show hosted by Curby (a robot trash can with arms and legs and a face painted on the front). They will also get to create their own compost bin, which they will be free to bring home and use for growing a plant. The final activity will be creating flowers using recycled materials. Parents may want to think about poster printing to help kids remember the lessons they’ve learned.
The waste presentation will be given this Saturday, February 28, from 10:00 am till 2:00 pm at the Roseville Utility Exploration Center, 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd, Roseville. There will be no admittance fee, though the compost activity will require a $10 materials charge.
