4-H Trash to Treasure Winners Recognized at Cannon County Good Ole Days

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Americans produce more than four pounds of trash per person per day, amounting to 20 percent of the world’s waste. Although recycling rates have increased over the past thirty years, out of the four pounds of trash produced in the U.S. each day, 1.5 pounds is either composted or recycled while another 0.5 pounds is incinerated. However, more than 50 percent of waste still ends up buried in landfills. This is an issue because landfills are becoming overran with waste. Although recycling is encouraged, we need to do a better job at educating the public on how to recycle and the proper items to recycle. Households have switched to single-stream recycling where all recyclable materials are mixed in a single bin at home which made it easier to recycle waste. Unfortunately, this makes it easier for paper

Now, this isn’t the only time a hawk was seen being confused about plastic lawn ornaments. Steve Grimme shared this video on Facebook of a hawk being confused by a plastic rabbit.
The reaction is pretty much the same: a lot of looking and circling around, the occasional attack and the priceless face (beak?) of confusion every time the rabbit doesn’t “comply” with the “being attacked protocol.”
Turns out, it’s not the only confused hawk out there as seen in another internaut’s video of a hawk being all confused by this lawn ornament bunny
I do not post much on FB but this was a unique view I had yesterday and feel the need to share.
