Once upon a time, on the edge of a small village, there was a beautiful green forest. Animals lived in it, birds sang and trees rustled. But one day something strange started happening – plastic bottles, pieces of paper and old cans appeared among the trees. The forest slowly lost its beauty.

 Three friends lived in the village: Lea, Tom, and Mikael. One afternoon, when they went to play in the woods, they noticed a mess. "We can't leave it like this," Lea said. "The woods can't take care of themselves."

     “Let’s clean it together and help the forest breathe again,” said Tom, and the three friends eagerly began picking up the litter. But the rubbish was everywhere, so they decided it would be a wonderful idea to share their mission with friends from the village and join their efforts — “The more we are,” said Lea, “the stronger we are.”

More children gladly joined them, ready to help nature and become eco heroes. Together, they discussed what their next steps should be.

       More children gladly joined them, ready to help nature and become eco heroes. Together, they discussed what their next steps should be. The next morning, the friends gathered in the clearing of the old forest. They divided the tasks among themselves: some made signs, others put inscriptions on the signs about the protection of the forest.

   They got together and decided to collect the trash as a team. Tom suggested, "I'll bring different colored bags – blue, green, and yellow – so we can collect the trash separately! We'll handle it together!" Everyone put on their gloves and carefully began collecting the trash separately in the forest.
