Tender Loving Caretakers of Planet Earth – Episodes 15 & 16
This episode opens with Chad and Gabriel looking down over the Land of I Bridge, observing some colorful fish swimming in the water below. They soon notice a trail of trash, (plastic bottles, paper products, tin cans etc.) floating by in the water. Gabriel sounds the alarm to the rest of the Land of I forest dwellers, who all converge at the bridge with big nets. They quickly begin to scoop out the offending trash from the clean water. The yucky trash is taken to Abigail's recycling bins and sorted for recycling.
Jotasha and Cyclic are horrified that someone upstream carelessly dumped material into a "life source" such as water. On their planet, such an offense would be ruled a detriment to all USU citizens and the planet. The person who was responsible would automatically be banished to spend the rest of his life on a revolving satellite. On the satellite, the criminal would be required to tend to the recycling efforts of the revolving space community. On USU, Jotasha explains only a handful of people had ever committed such a horrible offense. And no one according to USU history books, had been found guilty of breaking that law for over two hundred years. All citizens of USU proudly wear their Tender Loving Caretaker of Planet USU buttons.
Gabriel and Abigail agree with Jotasha and say that on the Angel Worlds of Time and Space, there are no such things as garbage dumps. All waste is recycled. These little tidbits of information from Jotasha, Gabriel and Abigail start the friends thinking about what they can do to help ensure that the Land of I forest inhabitants become more conscious of the harm of polluting their earthly environment.
They decide to design a certificate and a headband that will encourage children to feel pride in contributing to a safer and cleaner world. The little friends really get into the think tank mode of trying to come up with ways that children from all over the world can help make planet Earth a safer and cleaner place to life. Cyclic gives his educational lessons (facts) through his blue screen on the harmful effects of pollution and waste, deforestation, ozone depletion and the pollution of Earth's waterways. The blue screen lessons are animated and interesting, with suggestions of how each individual can do their part.
The ending song for "Tender Loving Caretakers" ties up what each individual can do to help make Earth a better place to live. All of the characters are wearing Tender Loving Caretaker of Planet Earth headbands and buttons.
We may want to leave some of this episode open at the end for Jotasha to personally offer information to clubs, schools, individuals and other organizations on how they can join the Tender Loving Caretaker of Planet Earth (non-profit) effort.
JOTASHA-- "Remember, one voice can reach two, two can reach ten, ten can reach one-hundred. Your caring voices will spread, eventually reaching every nation of your world and even beyond—into the vast universes. Your noble voices will carry your vision for a safer, cleaner and better world into the future. You can all become Tender Loving Caretakers of Planet Earth."
The non-profit outreach foundation for this effort will provide the educational tools, guidelines, certificates and buttons (or headbands) to schools and children for this team effort to join against planetary pollution.
