Episode Details

At the Minnesota State Fair, 260 sanitation workers tackle a mountain of trash—turning cleanup into a sustainability mission. High school students from Como Park Senior High, including sisters Kat and Izzy Larson, are leading the charge in composting and waste education. Wearing yellow vests and smelling like the fair, they’ve turned discarded items into “Trash Island,” a creative break spot—and an educational tool to show visitors where their waste ends up. With freedom to innovate, they’re turning trash into teaching moments, urging fairgoers to rethink their throwaway habits and see the bigger picture behind the cleanup.
