Here we are at 15! ChopChop has turned 15 and we’re celebrating our accomplishments and accolades as well as all the fun we’ve had over the years. We are joined this episode by Ryan from Ryan’s Recycling to hear more about his story and why recycling is so important. We have party ideas and lots of singing! We’ve got Strawberry pie on order instead of cake and you’ll hear about the history of the piñata!

This month's recipe: Strawberry Galette.

This month's giveaway is a Ryan’s recycling baseball cap so you can promote recycling in your town! Follow us on Instagram @chopchopkids and subscribe to our newsletter for more information.

Music in this episode includes modified versions of: "Cheesy Radio Ballad" and "Jazzy Inquisitors" by Lisa Hammer, "Horizons" by Beat Mekanik, and "Strange Italian Song" by Juanitos.
