lyrics

Student 1- Did you know that the Stillwater Landfill takes in about 300 tons of trash per day?

Student 2- That weighs about the same as one of the cranes that is being used to build our new school. That is like throwing away a crane every day!

Student 3- Another interesting fact is that the tallest point of the Stillwater landfill is 100ft high.

Student 2- What would happen if that hill came to life and started to attack?

Student 1- In a way the hill already has started to attack. Birds and other animals use the landfill as their main source of food rather than looking for natural foods sources. Also the almost constant 20 mile per hour winds on top of the hill carry trash away from the landfill and that trash ends up littering other places. The landfill does what they can by putting up fences but they can’t catch it all.

Student 3- And just think, our landfill isn’t the only one out there. In Oklahoma City they have four landfills that take in about 2000 tons of trash each day each. That is like throwing away 26 cranes each day!

Student 1- Wow! Mother Nature better watch out for that Trash Monster!
