Once upon a time, there was a lovely town called Cycle with lots of flowers, trees, animals and fresh air.

People and animals were so happy and healthy that there was no problem. The sun was shining in summer, It was raining in Autumn, snowing in Winter, and the flowers were growing again in Spring. The life was so peaceful and sufficient for everyone. There were lots of plants, vegetables, fruits, clean water, Life was great. However......

Most of the people weren't know the value of this beautiful nature.They were throwing everything away.

People weren't recycling papers,plastics and cans.Pollution was hurting the animals and plants.

Because of this,the sky was turning gray,the rivers were beginning to stink and a sadness was beginning to cover the whole nature.

As the days progressed like this, it was as if the world had changed in an instant. The air looked different now, smelled different. There was also a strangeness in people, unlike before, they did not show enough interest in nature anymore, and some even behaved badly. But there were those who realized that in the midst of all the awkwardness, the change, the situation was getting worse. And some of them decided to take action to change this course. Therefore, youngsters Watson, James, and Sofia gathered around a once clear but now very polluted stream containing waste materials and thought about what they could do.

There were so much garbage that they realized  they couldn’t collect all of them by themselves. Therefore, they wanted help from other people living in their town. They gathered townspeople and told the situation and many of them agreed to help. Everyone colloborated and they separated the wastes as plastic, glass, paper etc. They started to think about what they should do with all these wastes. Sofia found a great idea: RECYCLING!  They decided to establish a Recycling Center with the help of elder people in the town. 

So the three of them- Sofia, James and Watson decided to talk to official people in a town council. The youngsters were excited, optimistic and full of energy, especially after involving so many people from town in cleaning the stream.

 They collected the rough plan of the recycling centre, the motto for it- 'The three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle' and went to the council to put their plan forward.

Then, in the local council, the kids told the council members to create a law that will oblige local factories to recycle effectively every waste they produce. To approve the law, every member in the council must vote positively, but one of them didn’t.

That man was Henry Machachussut, the owner of the factory nearby. He didn’t want to spend money on recycling, he thought that it was useless and, even worse, he thought climate change doesn’t exist!

The kids knew they got to do something to change Mr. Machachussut mind!!!!!

Other children strongly disagreed with this idea, saying that evil should not be repaid with evil. "Mr. Machachussut's daughter is at our school and she supports recycling. We can work with her and ask her to convince her father," said Sofia. James said, "Later, let's organize an exhibition showing how this pollution harms the environment, and prepare a documentary supporting this exhibition." The idea that Watson could both clean the environment and persuade Mr. Machachussut by giving some money to those who brought recyclable materials was accepted by all.

Without wasting time, these three smart kids wanted to gather by the stream and decide what to do. “If we take some dirty water from the creek and give it to Mr. Machachussut, he'll be convinced of how bad it is,” James said.

They immediately go to school and they tell whole story to their teacher after that they start to prepare exhibition.They use some bottles' lids , plastics, batteries, bottles,cans,.When they come to Henry Machachussut's place and they find Henry Machachussut while he is harming the nature.They invited Henry Machachussut to their school.

While they are going Henry Machachussut kind of feel regretfuk because of his behaivors. When they arrived he saw that all preprations and he feel totally regretful and he take some rules for his factory.Some of these rules are...

Day by day, step by step.... things were getting better, people enjoyed nature more and more and took better care. They realized they can make the world better place to live and were taking actions and thinking about it more often. Children were soooo happy that they will live on healthy Earth and will pass their experience to next generations.
