i remember an episode from the sitcom “trailer park boys” [0] where one of the characters throws all their garbage in a local lake. his logic was that he never sees it again, so the lake recycles it somehow. i found the situation very funny and totally realistic.

I think the most effective school field trip would be a trip to the landfill to show everyone what happens when you throw something “away”.

In 6th grade we took a trip to the sewage treatment plant.
