ONCE THERE WERE FOUR FRIENDS . THEiR NAMES WERE : ALI, TATYANA, ASLAN AND ELISA. ThEY WERE FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES BUT WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL. THEY LIVED IN THE CITY WHERE PEOPLE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THEIR ENVIRONMENT . THEY THREW THEIR LITTER EVERYWERE IN THE TOWN.

EVERY DAY THE FRIENDS WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AND TRIED TO FIND THE SOLUTION. BUT COULDN'T COME TO ANY CONCLUSION.

ONE DAY THEY MET İN THE YARD. ALİ SAİD: "HEY, GUYS I KNOW AN EMPTY PLACE WHERE WE CAN GROW OUR OWN PLANS AND TREES." THAT SOUNDED VERY INTERESTING . THE FRIENDS AGREED TO GO THERE...

So four friends are on their way. They saw garbage thrown by people on the road. Moreover, many of these were recyclable waste. How could humanity be so thoughtless. Something had to be changed now. These four friends had to start awakening.

They would first grow their own products. The seeds from Elisa's grandmother were for this. Teachers at school taught them to make compost soil. Now they would grow these seeds with organic soil, and they would not use a pesticide. Then they would start a major environmental movement.

These children, who call themselves "nature warriors", have turned their war on environmental pollution into a project and decided to enrich the soil by embedding all kinds of fruit and vegetable waste they have found in their gardens and school gardens.

Enriching the land was not enough, they printed a brochure to raise awareness among other people and distributed it to the whole school.

The brochure began with these words: "We are the warriors of nature. We are fighting against those who pollute nature and want to destroy it. We need new warriors on this path. Let's save our world together"

Then they make slogans to disseminate their ideas. But it was not enough.To make their project more attractive they composed their project song. Then they sang together and tried to get support from the others. And they made a clip to the song they sang together. They all danced happily in the clip. This clip was made for 23 rd April National Sovereignity and Children's day.

They sang their song to their friends and their families . All the people who heard that song were all inspired from the song and started to be more sensitive to our nature. By the way, they showed their germinated seeds to other children and all these activities helped them to make new friends and raise awareness on our beautiful mother nature.

Their songs inspired other kids, too. However, they decided to do something more impressive than distributing brochures and singing.

They made giant monster sculptures by collecting plastic waste thrown into the street. They exhibited this statue on the streets.

They gave people the message, "If you keep throwing your plastic in nature, they will one day turn into a monster that destroys you."
