A week ago a fleet of dark clouds descended on our planet. These clouds are represented by the dark overlord cloud. These clouds are meant to pollute the atmosphere and the planet, as today they pollute the atmosphere and now they are trying to pollute the seas. Because of them, many animals are on the verge of extinction, such as the Monachus Monachus seal and the loggerhead turtle.

So, a week ago four friends named Sofia, Alexa, Alexandra and George went on a school trip to Bahamas.

On their way to Bahamas they noticed a lot of environmental problems. First of all, they found dirty seas full of garbage.

As they stared at the waves a lot of refuges came out of the sea and this made them feel very sad. 

It is true that many plastic bottles, tyres, wooden planks and cigarette butts they also were in the sand. And so, the children began to think if they could save the planet.

They started saying ideas and finally decided to pick up the trash themselves. But the beach was too big and they couldn't clean it by themselves.

 That's why they asked for help from their parents. Their parents wanted to help them but they were too busy.

The children decided to make posters and hang them all over the town and the beaches. The posters were about recycling.

 Alexa: do you think this is gonna make people help us to clean the beaches?

Sofia : I hope it does because if it doesn’t we have to do it ourselves!!

George : Please tell me that you have already thought how we are going to hung posters all over the town in less than 24 hours !!!!

Alexandra : No, we haven’t decided yet…..but we are going to figure out because nothing is impossible if you try!!!! First of all, they decide how to make the posters. Alexandra has an idea: We can do them with Canva.

Oh! good! - Say the rest of the children.

After that, they decide to ask for help to the children in the school, also to the Fire Station and to the police to hang the posters. Finally, they decide to rent bikes, skates and scooters to do it faster, so at the store, the guy ask them if they need help, so Alexa said: 

Then, when they are by the seaside some fishermen offer some help too.

They use walkie talkies to communicate with each other.

So, at the end, they finish to hang the posters!! They go to have dinner in a restaurant and then they go to sleep.

When they wake up, Alexa, Alexandra, Sofia and George go to the beach. On the way there they can see littered trash cans. They are worried about what is waiting for them on the beach. But there aren’t any people there. There is only a lot of garbage. They go back to town to find out why others didn’t come.

On the way they can see a group of hooligans tearing down the posters. 

George asks: “Why are you tearing the posters?” “Because it is fun,” the hooligans answer. “Stop it, please,” says Alexandra. 

The children and the hooligans argue for a while, but they can’t persuade the hooligans to stop.

 “We want to help nature. It is important for all people and for you, too,” Sofia explains. The hooligans finally agree. “OK. We will help you”.

The only problem was that there still was a lot of garbage. Hooligans helped to put the posters back. The next day no one reacted at all. But then they got an idea to post a video on Twitter.

The next day they thought why are there so many people moving everywhere.

They realized that their video had gone viral. Their video got over 675 million views. People came to help clean this beach from around the world. But everyone didn't fit on the beach, so many people decided to clean their own city’s beaches. A month later, beaches around the world were clean. Alexa, Alexandra, Sofia and George hoped that nobody would litter anymore ever again.
