The question is, how will they protect them in a thirsty and plantless world? • Where docs our garbage go? Is there enough room on planet earth for us and our garbage? Land of Trash looks at the long-term conse- quenccs of environmental pollution and brings home our need to care for the living things which share our planet. Written by Ottawa play- wright Ian Tamblyn, Land of Trash suggests to children how they can take an active roll in protecting their environment. Ian Tamblyn is well known in the world of Canadi- an performing arts. Currently writer -in -residence at the Great Canadian Theatre Compa- ny in Ottawa, he is author of sever- al plays for children, and is espe- cially known for his contribution to the Canadian music scene.
