Hey kids did you hear about the grade 3 class who partnered with Ecoman to beat the

dreaded

dump it man to make a better world check it out

it all started out as a normal day

but when the children arrived at school the playground was filled with garbage

and on top of it stood the dreaded dump it man

gross! what to do? the class had been studying how to be green

so they knew to call their friend Ecoman. Ecoman was busy protecting the

Amazonian rainforest

but he was able to arrive in just a few seconds

thanks to its renewable energy jetpack Hey Ecoman

cried the class what's going on here Ecoman looked around

Ah! he said someone has been duped into dumping

if we don't want the whole world to look like this we have to recycle

luckily we have a system to do this different waste goes into different bins

one for class one for plastic one for cardboard and newspapers

and one for everything else if we do this

then glass can be melted and made into new glass, paper

can be recycled and plastic turned into hangers bottles

or even a new sweater thanks Ecoman!

the class shouted later that day the class sat down to have lunch

and found pale tasteless tomatoes on their plates Raaah! They could see the dreaded

dump it man sneering in the corner so they called Ecoman again

who was busy protecting endangered animals. Hey Ecoman

what's going on? Ecoman explained that the Earth

gives us fruits and vegetables all year round but different ones grow in

different seasons

for example rhubarb comes in the spring tomatoes in the summer

pumpkins in the fall and in the winter we get carrots

and when we respect natural cycles nature helps us

for example by giving us ladybugs who eat the aphids who

otherwise your plants. Yeah Nature! At the end of the strange day

the children left school only to see tons of pollution in the city

dump it man was there too laughing

Ecoman was able to leave his work installing solar panels

that brought electricity to a village without lights and arrived

answer the children's question. Ecoman

the clash shouted why is the air so grey and smelly

can't we do without these polluting cars? Absolutely!

said Ecoman this is already happening

lots of people are riding bikes to work or traveling by public transit or carpool

you can help by doing this to also

new non-polluting options are being invented everyday

things like electric cars and solar planes like the Solar Impulse

that flew around the world using only energy from the Sun

so you see when we work together to be green

dump it man is out of here! Ecoman then left with his

awesome renewable energy jetpack to save the bees

what a day for that class and who knows

maybe tomorrow it'll be your class!
