#1 GO GREEN

Created by Jessica S. & Carly A., Edward Murphy School

Picture of the world with big eyes and a huge smile on it floating in space, with a clear blue sparkling ring around it, full of clean fresh atmosphere

Voice over:         Our planet is like our baby, if we don’t take care of it, it will get sick....but guess what?

Our home is turning into a giant garbage dump

The world morphs into a giant garbage dump with sad eyes and  hopeless expression, the ring around it darkens and loses its sparkles

Voice over:         I’ll give you a way of saving our World and being cool!

Recycle and you will set an example!

Save water

A young boy is  brushing his teeth, a sister reaches into the frame  and turns off the facet

Voice over: ... and you will be popular, even more than Harry Potter

Boy looking in the mirror sees himself on stage with the audience giving him a standing ovation and a huge sparkling white smile

holding his toothbrush and bowing

Voice over::       No more bad plastic bottles use reusable bottles and You will be a model!

Girl filling up a reusable water bottle takes a sip then hands it to a lady and then photographer flash bulbs go off as she poses with the reusable water bottle in her hand

Voice over::        We need to recycle

People might think that recycling is lame and uncool...well you are wrong!

See a blue recycling  box filling up with paper boxes, bottles, cans

Voice over::        Go GREEN!!!!!!!

The sad earth from the beginning morphs back into the clean sparkling earth from the first with her eyes closed as she starts to look healthy again

Voice over::        Open your eyes...

The now clean earth that looks like the opening image slowly opens her eyes and gives a huge smiles

Voice over::        The world is in our hands. We are part of it’s future! Lets make a difference!

We can save so many sea creatures, animals, people land....look at we can save and so on and so on and so on....

The now clean earth shimmers and shines  fade to green. GO GREEN GO GREEN GO GREEN GO GREEN goes around the world

#2 REUSE OR REFUSE!

Created by Veronica, Talyce, Melissa and Rachel, Edward Murphy School

A young man is sitting in a comfy chair watching TV

A close up of the TV show you that a commercial about water bottles is on.

The young man nods his head in agreement and gets up.

The young man is now sitting in his car, black smoke can belch out of the car exhaust, he arrives at a store

Now you see the young man at the store counter purchasing a water bottle.

The scene changes to the young man sitting on a bench in the park which has swings and a sandbox and he opens up the bottle and just as he is about to take a sip from the bottle a very little girl comes and knocks his bottle out of his hand.

As the bottle gets knocked out of his hand

Voice over:: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (little girl voice)

Next scene the young man is sitting on the bench and the little girl has a pointer with an easel that has pictures of how a water bottle just gets tossed out and piles up in landfills and blocks water ways, maybe creates dams taking the water away from a beaver dam with the beavers looking puzzled.

Switch to the young man sitting on the bench with his water bottle in his hand looking it over but not drinking from it.

Scene switches to the young man the next morning sitting in his comfy chair again watching TV

A close up of the TV show you that a commercial about water bottles is on. This time the image of the little girl pops into his head in a bubble over his head and next you see him in the kitchen  filling a glass with water.

#3 SAY NO TO PLASTIC LAND!

Created by Angela, Sara, Vivien, Jade T. , Edward Murphy School

It was a sunny day

Four little girls went to the beach, clean sand, blue sky, with palm trees giving shade in spots, smiling sun in the sky, fish popping out of the water

They played together until one says: We should go to Plastic Land

And they all chime in :    OK

A caption comes onto the screen: Plastic Land is on the other side of the island

Now we see the four girls standing on a mountain of plastic bottles, the sky is dark grey and it starts to rain, there are no trees for protection just water bottles, the little girls are very wet:

Voice over:: girl one: I don’t like this place

Girl two::I need an umbrella

All voices: we are getting soaked

Back on the pretty clean beach side:

Voice over:: girl one: I am glad we are back

Girl two::that was horrible

All voices: we should do something about it

Next scene the four girls with signs standing in front of a grocery store ,

the 4 signs say   TAP WATER ONLY

NO TO BOTTLED WATER

ONE HAS A PICTURE OF A PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE WITH A LINE THREW IT

SAY NO TO PLASTIC LAND!

A caption comes onto the screen: ...and IT WORKED! YAY

Last scene Plastic Land cleaned up, the plastic bottles formed to make a stage with a podium on it with grass around and flowers and trees, the four girls on stage with awards in their hands

Voice over:...and thanks to these fine young girls the environment’s saved from plastic water bottles

Hear claps and cheers and fade to green
