“Can I Recycle It? And Where Does it Go If I Do??” Colorado’s most educational, exciting and esoteric environmental quiz show returns for SunFest by popular demand, with a new array of vexing recycling and composting items to stump our audience, and an expanded expert panel of Landfill Squares to put your renewable X’s and O’s in the right place. Lovely parting gifts for the first five audience members willing to put that empty Cheetos bag in its place, or to hazard a guess whether that Kung Pao chicken container goes in compost. (Pro tip: It does not.) Join Sun environment reporter Michael Booth for a fast-moving, highly informative look at our throwaways and how to do better.”
