There once was a boy named Scrubs and he 

lived in Charleston, West Virginia. 

In this town, there is a big power plant that 

is putting lots of black smoke into the air.

One day when Scrubs was walking, he noticed the 

smoke in the sky. He asked his dad, Samuel the super-

smart scientist, "why is there smoke?"

He said, "A long time ago, people burned coal to keep 

warm. Later, they used it to make electricity."

"Now, this plant is owned by Colton, the 

uncool coal consumer."

This coal plant has caused many humans and 

animals to get sick. Since it also releases sulfur, 

it makes acid rain that hurts the trees. 

                               "The coal plant also releases                                   

dddddddddddddddddd little particles that are like very 

ddddddddddddddddd    tiny pieces of rocks, which can 

ddddddddddddddddd    get stuck in your lungs and     

dddddddddddddddd     make you sick."

That night, Scrubs could not get any 

sleep. The thought of the coal power 

plant scared him.

What if the pollution hurts 

me? What if the pollution 

hurts my family? What if...

The next morning, Scrubs went on Google 

and tried to find out how to stop the 

pollution. The thing that he found was a 

scrubber.

It uses limestone to turn the sulfur in 

the pollution into something called calcium 

sulfate. It looks like dried mud, but it is 

white and it can be recycled. 

Scrubs headed down to 

Colton's coal factory to 

show him the scrubbers he 

found.

Scrubs walks in and sees Colton talking to 

his neighbor Reynaldo the renewable 

resource kid.

Hello Mr.Colton. This is a 

wind turbine. It produces 

a lot of renewable energy.

When Reynaldo left, Scrubs went in and 

introduced himself.

decrease

After a while, Colton made Scrubs leave 

his building.

Later that night, Scrubs headed back to the power 

plant to show Colton how great the scrubbers are and 

convince him once and for all that they are good for 

the environment.

A worker at the plant let Scrubs in once he 

learned that Scrubs was going to stop the 

pollution.
