Are you tired of watching Dora, Diego & Scooby-Doo?
Have your kids ever asked you how donuts are made, where your trash and recyclables go or how milk jugs are turned into Green Toys?
If you answered yes to any/all of these questions, then have I got the perfect giveaway for you!
Curiosity Quest DVD.
Curiosity Quest is an award-winning PBS show, designed for the whole family, which is now available on DVD!
Curiosity Quest is an upbeat educational program for the whole family that explores subjects that viewers are curious about. (From Pet adoption to living in the circus)
In each show, host Joel Greene, ventures on a quest to answer viewer's letters. Each quest takes the audience on location for an unscripted, hands-on, educational exploration.
Curiosity Quest also has a special series called Curiosity Quest Goes Green that has
explored Water Treatment Facilities, Landfills, and the Recycling of bottles, cans, plastic, glass and turning them into new products (such as Green Toys).
Thanks to the kind folks at Green Toy, my family and I were able to watch these fascinating and educational shows on DVD. (Thanks Green Toy)
We learned:
- The difference between a dump and a sanitary landfill
- That methane gases are actually captured and processed
- That landfill's don't have the manpower to separate all the recyclables from the trash which is why it is very important that we separate our recyclables at home!
- That 5% of the world's population produces 40% of the world's waste (Sadly, that 5% would be the residents of the USA)
My 8 year old son loved the show. He was actually disappointed when it was over. He said that it was too short.
The host, Joel Greene, is entertaining and funny. The show itself combines fun facts with upbeat music and topics geared to inquisitive minds, both young and old(er). I would highly recommend tuning in.
Now you and your family have the chance to win the Curiosity Quest Goes Green DVD and learn for yourself all about composting, recycling, water treatment, and much much more!

Great giveaway! I never heard fo this show, but it sounds like something my kids would enjoy. I checked out the "Big Toys" quest which is all about making play structures from recycled materials. Great idea!
I think the food rescue episode look really good.
I want to win this for my friend's daughter who is very in to going green. I think she would love this!
I found out that making aluminum cans from used cans takes 95% less energy. 95%!
Did you know that millions of recyclable food is thrown in the landfills each year?...I didnt know that!!!!
I learned that a park bench could be made out of milk containers. Visited Yellowstone a few years ago and many of their walkways were made from recycled plastic.Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

Was looking at the Quest about backyard composting. Kids love to learn this stuff if taught in a hands-on approach they become pretty rabid about composting at least my older kids are.
