Unsure of the particular episode title, however, the couple was given a composting bin. The host encouraged the couple (mainly wife) to put MEATS & the BONES into the bin along with the other materials. Meats ROT while fruits, vegetables will breakdown. Who in their right mind would include items such as bones? these will not breakdown into compost. No wonder the couple gave up on the bin!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Wa$ted
Parents need to know that this environmentally themed reality series -- which shows families how they can reduce their carbon footprint and live a greener lifestyle -- makes its point by identifying the financial impact that less-green habits can have on household budgets. There's not much iffy content for parents to worry about, aside from the prominent position of a couple of corporate/product logos (Brita and Google). That said, the subject matter may not appeal to young tweens, though older viewers interested environmental issues and/or green living are likely to find the show interesting and/or inspiring.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about ways to reduce waste and become more eco-friendly. How big do you think your family's carbon footprint is? How can you reduce it? Do you think it's always feasible to live "green" in today's world? Families can also discuss the media's impact on the green movement around the world. Do you think shows like this one help inspire people to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, or are they just another form of entertainment?
