SKRAPTACULAR! will be on hand educating Fair goers to rethink what they do with their waste. Northern Manhattan SKRAPTACULAR! crafty kids will take to the fairgrounds, encouraging and enticing World Maker Faire attendees how they can to do their part to make less garbage. A carnival of visual and performance arts, poetry and song will remind New Yorkers how to reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink how to save our environment and reduce waste while having fun.
