The Green
School Hero

2. Johnny The Green School Hero
Once upon a time there was a little kid
named Johnny who was a friend of the
nature and a green hero in the school
where he studied. He was a hero
because this small school was very ugly
and dirty and he started to create all
kinds of things to make it prettier and
cleaner.

3. But, one day his parents decided
to move to a different country, so
our little friend was going to be in
a new, big and different school.

4. He was very excited with this idea
since he thought that as this school
was bigger than the other one, it was
going to be very pretty and clean.
However, when Johnny got to his
new school, this one was very
dirty, there was garbage
everywhere, the other kids were
throwing the garbage
outside the bins and they didn’t
care.

5. Johnny was really sad watching all
the indifference from teachers and
students that he sat and started to
talk alone saying: “Why is that
people do not care about the
planet?, Don’t they know that this is
the only one we have to live?, Isn’t it
better to come out side to recess
and breath fresh air and not all this
trash?, What is happening to this
people?.

6. And a little voice was heard answering: “I know
this is very sad, I don’t like it either. But what can
we do? So Johnny turned and saw a girl who was
as sad as him, and he said: “I have an idea”. The
girl said: “I’m Angie by the way, and I want to
help”.

7. So Johnny and Angie started to
look for help with their parents
and neighbors and they found
some big bins and they painted
all with different colors and they
took them to the school and put
them in different places with big
signs: ALUMINUM CANS, PLASTIC
BOTTLES, ORGANIC TRASH, and
TETRA-BRIK. The signs were very
funny and the other kids were
charmed by them.

8. Johnny and Angie ran to the
cans when they were in recess
and they started to teach the
other kids the purpose of this
bins. By the end of a week, the
school was cleaner, the kids
enjoyed using the cans and
Johnny and Angie were very
happy.

9. Then Johnny started to plan a lot of campaigns in
the school to recycle newspapers, and cans and
the professors understood that this was a good
cause so they started to help Johnny on all his
ideas, and Johnny became again the Green Hero
of the school.

10. The last day of the year Johnny sat with Angie
outside and they said at the same time: What a
nice breath of fresh air! And they both laugh and
enjoyed playing with their friends.
