A Worm's Eye View... the Recycling History of the World
Take a journey through time and follow the Recycling history of the world as told by Wilbur Worm.
Worms are expert recyclers. After all, they've been doing it since the days of the dinosaurs. Even back then, they spent many hours eating their way through giant, steamy dung heaps; turning them into food for plants - organic recycling.
Sounds simple doesn't it?
But the history of the worm has not always been easy.
Check out how worms have survived through the Ages to claim their rightful place among us, as Nature's recyclers...
