Garbage-loving Oscar the Grouch tapped as face of waste reduction campaign
TORONTO — A beloved yet grumpy garbage lover has been tapped to be the familiar, furry face of a Canadian campaign to promote waste reduction.
Oscar the Grouch has been announced as the "spokes-Muppet" for Waste Reduction Week in Canada, which is slated to kick off next month.
St. Godard said part of the eighth annual event running Oct. 19-25 will focus on engaging post-secondary students who are the up-and-coming consumers, policymakers and business leaders, to think about consumption and waste generation and the environmental impact of those activities.
