Science World full of Compost Critters

WHO IS Wayne Worm and why has he got his own video, current- ly showing at Science World?

Wayne is an electric guitar- toting computer-animated charac- ter from the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s interactive video kiosk called Compost Crit- ters - Adventures in Composting, currently ‘on long-term loan to Science World as part of their composting display.

The video, which teaches about composting, . allows children to skip around the segments and ask particular questions — such as what kind of ingredients to use and how often to add materials to acompost pile.

Wayne Worm lives in the com- post pile with Millicent Miilipede, Betty Bacteria and Sammy Sowbug, three other Compost Critters who help kids to under- stand that composting can be an important way to. reduce the amount of garbage we send to landfills each year.

Kitchen and yard waste current- ly make up about one-third of the residential waste stream in the GVRD.

The video kiosk has been in- stalled at Science World as part of ike GVRD's October Recycle Month, an annual promotion to raise public awareness about solid waste reduction.

Reduction of solid waste by 50% by the year 2000 is part of the Creating Our Future program of 54 initiatives to make this a more livable region.
