07x03 - The X-Factor
Posted: 10/04/22 07:53
There's this really bad dude
named Hacker who wants to
take over the Cyberworld
from Motherboard.
Three kids are sucked
into Cyberspace,
and they use brain power
to help save everybody.
Can three cool kids and a wacky
bird outsmart the Hacker?
HACKER: Never!MATT: There's only one way
to find out!
Tune in
to "Cyberchase"!
Cyberchase - we're moving
we're beating Hacker at his game
Don't tell me that he's
trying to hack the Motherboard
we'll get him every time
...places that we've seen
We've got the power
of one, two, three, four!
Running in the Cyberchase
We meet him face to face
We'll stick together
all the time
Adventures in cyberspace
The chase is on!
C-y-b-e-r-chase!
Welcome to
Perfectamundo...
home of the crystal dome...
...where our solar panels
turn the sun into energy
to heat our homes...
...and power our buildings...
...just like this factory
you're looking to open,
with our permission of course.
Of course, Mayor,
Perfectamundo is a simply
marvelous cybersite.
In fact, it's
particularly perfectamundo
for my brand new business.
Which is what, exactly?
We don't allow industries
that could pollute our site,
you know.
Understood!
All I want to do is make...
soup...
...delicious and nutritious!
And ultravicious.
I made a test batch
before you got here.
Smells good.
May I try some?
Well, um...of course.
Buzz, soup for my
newfound friend.
Right away boss!
Bottoms up!
...Yummy!
Permit granted!
Waldo?
Sign here, Mr. Green Face!
Waldo, why were you
so mean to Mr. Hacker?
I...I don't know.
Something just came over me.
Well, if it ever comes
over you again...
cover it up!
How's it looking, Raz?
Excellent, Matt.
This could be the grandest
grand opening ever!
Here we go, Raz,
more Digifizz!
I think it's awesome
that you invented a toy
that looks just like Digit!
Well, Digit's
always been my hero.
I wanted to do something
special for him.
You gotta love this kid.
And now you're in
business together!
How cool is that?
Yup, it's gonna be great!
Right, partner?
Right, partner!
Welcome, guys.
Allow me to demonstrate
the amazing Digifizz!
Just rock it...and unlock it!
Oooh!
Ahhhh!
So?
Whaddya think?
You like Digifizz?
Yea!
Then help yourself!
Free samples all day!
Yea!
Totally amazing!
Oh, wow!
That's so cool!
Yea!
Home run, guys!
Everyone loves it!
And this is the
just the beginning!
When word gets out, the
demand will multiply!
You think so?
For sure!
If just these ten kids
tell ten friends each,
that's ten times ten...
or a hundred kids
wanting Digifizz.
And it could be even more!
Imagine if those one
hundred kids each tell ten
more...that's one hundred
times ten...or one thousand
Digifizz fans!
From ten to a thousand in two
short steps, just like that!
It's called the
multiplier effect.
Multiplying numbers together
makes the product grow
really large...really fast!
Wow! We better
make more Digifizz!
What's next on
the list, Waldo?
Give a speech?
Write a memo?
Meet the press?
It's time to inspect the dome.
Up we go...
Spotless
here...spotless there...
spotless...spotless
everywhere!
What's this?
Unacceptable!
More spots like this could
block the sun - and we can't
have that!
We must keep our dome clean!
Perfect!
Uh!
It happened again!
...And again!
It's an epidemic!
Keep cleaning,
Waldo...keep cleaning!
You know, Deedee, these
are the ugliest plants
I've ever seen!
PEEYOO!
They stink, too.
Stop grumbling!
Things will only go according
to plan if these plants grow
according to plan.
Umm...is that the plan to make
the Mayor think we're making
soup when we're really
doing something else?
Or the plan to take over
Perfectamundo with whatever
you're growing in
your secret room?
They're the same plan,
you duncebuckets!
Now bring me more soup!
Why do I put up with this?
Why...WHY?
Didge, Matt!
Everyone at my school
wants Digifizz!
That's boffo, Raz!
Not only that - my teacher
told her teacher friends about
it...and all the kids at
their schools want it, too!
Yeah, but how are we going to
deliver that many cans to that
many kids in that many places?
We don't!
All we have to do is deliver
one big box of Digifizz to
each school - and let the
teachers pass out the cans to
their students.
Sounds like a plan to me, Jax.
How many cans do
we need in all?
Let's multiply it.
How many kids in
each class, Raz?
Uh...twenty.
And how many classes
in your school?
Seventeen.
Twenty cans times
seventeen classes equals...
Three hundred forty
cans of Digifizz!
Sheesh!
That's a lot more
than I thought!
There's that
multiplier effect again.
The numbers get
big really fast.
Wait - that's just
for my school!
What about the five other
schools - they're all set up
the same!
Your school plus five is
a total of six schools.
So multiply twenty
in a class...
...times seventeen classes...
...times six schools...
...equals...
Two thousand forty
cans of Digifizz!
Yoikes!
That's a lotta little Digits!
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
PLEASE COME OUTSIDE!
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
What's up, Mayor?
What's wrong?
Orange spots!
They began appearing this
morning...and now they're
blocking our sun!
Fear not, folks!
The Mayor and I
will find the cause!
Right, Mayor?
I think we just found it.
Look!
There's orange stuff
coming out of that factory!
Shut it down! Shut it down!
And so we shall!
Let's go, Waldo!
We'll come with you!
Wait!
What about the Digifizz?
Oh, yeah.
I forgot!
You guys go.
We'll deliver the Digifizz!
Thanks, Jax.
HACKER?
The Hacker.
You should really
know that by now!
I didn't expect you
back so soon, Mayor.
Well, I didn't
expect to be back.
But we have a little
issue we need to address.
An issue?
Yes.
You're polluting our dome!
What?
I am not!
You have two choices, sir.
One: shut down your factory.
Or two: prove that
you're not the polluter!
I'll go with number two!
As you wish!
Town Meeting...three
o'clock sharp!
I'll be there!
And I'll prove that
The Hacker is innocent!
One! Two! Three!
DIGIFIZZ!
YAAAAY!
The Town Meeting will
now come to order!
Orange spots on our dome
are blocking the sun and
threatening to
ruin our cybersite!
And you, Mr. Hacker, are
accused of causing them!
What proof do you
have of my guilt?
These photos show orange stuff
coming out of your factory.
So?
It's not pollution
- it's just steam!
Well, witnesses signed
these statements saying
the orange spots first
appeared on the dome
when you opened your factory.
That doesn't prove
I caused them!
It's your fault!
Close the factory!
Save Perfectamundo!
I'm not guilty!
And I'll prove it!
...Sorry.
As you can see, I've
shut down my factory.
True.
No orange stuff is coming out.
Exactly!
Therefore, if I am the
culprit, as you seem to think,
why, I ask...
...are orange
spots still forming
right before our very eyes?
I'll tell you why!
Because someone else
is polluting, not me!
Now go away and allow
me to make my soup!
Ohhh!
Don't worry, Mayor...we'll
help you figure this out.
This is awful, Mayor!
The more we clean - the more
the spots keep appearing!
It's a challenge, I admit.
But we can't let
anything block our sun.
But as the number
of spots grows...
the problem is getting worse.
Our gardens are wilting!
Our lights are going out!
We're losing our heat!
The electricity's
shutting down!
Business is failing!
And our perfectly
perfect site...
Isn't perfect anymore!
I know, Waldo.
Keep scrubbing!
Hacker's gotta
be up to something -
or he wouldn't be here!
A secret room!
Whoa!
We gotta find out
what's in there!
I'm pooped!
I can't believe we delivered
more than two
thousand cans of Digifizz!
This should give us
enough for the next order.
Now we can go
help the Mayor figure out
what's making those spots.
Here you go, Jackie...
Ooops!
Sorry.
Hey, what's that?
No problemo - I'll
clean 'em off!
Yoikes!
These orange spots
look just like the ones
we saw on the dome!
How'd they get in here?
Heyyy...were they here before
I dropped the Digifizz?
Are you saying my Digifizz
caused those spots?
No, no!
I mean, I don't know!
It's just that-- Digifizz
isn't even orange!
Whoa, Raz, no one's saying--
How could you
even think to blame...
never mind!
Raz, wait!
Hurry up, Duncebuckets!
Bring more soup!
Nag, nag, nag!
I hear you, Buzzy.
Some day maybe we'll have our
own factory and make...oh,
I don't know...maybe noodles!
Not noodles...donuts!
Yeah!
Good one!
What is that thing?
Who's Hackie's
little monster, huh?
With very bad breath.
But don't worry, more
soup is on the way.
Oh, yes...you're going
to grow bigger and meaner
and scarier than any
monster in Cyberspace.
And you'll do whatever I say.
Right?
Uh oh!
Do you really think
Digifizz caused these spots?
I dunno...but we
can test the idea...
Rock it...and unlock it!
The sparkles disappeared!
Oh, no!
Six new spots!
...it's gotta be the Digifizz!
But, Jax, how can that be?
Like Raz said, there's no
orange in the sparkles!
That's right, it's
not in the sparkles...
I checked my notes.
There's orange stuff
in the propellent!
...Propellent?
The stuff that sends the
sparkles up in the air.
Which means maybe the Digifizz
is polluting the dome.
Hold on, there's only
six small spots up there.
How could little spots like
that make a big mess like the
one all over the dome?
Maybe you're right...
C'mon, guys, let's
think this through.
We know how many cans of
Digifizz we gave out, right?
One can per student...twenty
cans per class...
Three hundred forty
cans per school...
And two thousand forty
cans for all six schools!
The question is...how many
spots do all those cans make?
To find out, we need
to multiply each can
by three spots.
The first one is easy!
One can makes three spots.
That's not so many.
Not yet...
Twenty cans times three
spots is sixty spots.
The number's getting bigger.
And we're just
getting started.
Three hundred forty cans
times three spots is...
one thousand twenty!
And for six schools...a
total of six thousand
one hundred twenty spots!
Yoikes!
That's a lotta spots!
Enough to gunk up
the entire dome!
It's the multiplier
effect again!
Except this time, it
multiplied the problem big time!
Flora's getting huge!
And mean!
That's the point!
The more soup we feed her, the
bigger and meaner she'll get.
See?
Want to grow your
own Flora monster?
All you need are ultravicious
plants like these.
Just mash them up in water
and feed them to her.
The more Flora eats,
the nastier she gets!
One packet of
ultravicious seeds grows
fifty ultravicious plants!
So buy in bulk.
Available at a Mary Contrary
Garden Store near you.
Once I take over
Perfectamundo,
I'll grow another Flora...
and another one...
and one after that!
I'll have a whole army of
Floras - enough to take over
all of Cyberspace!
Let's go visit Mary Contrary!
All right, boss!
Who would think that
one little toy could cause
such a big problem?
You need to get back every
can of Digifizz you gave out -
immediately!
And don't make anymore!
But...what if I can fix it?
What if I can make it work
without the orange stuff?
...OK!
You have one hour.
But if that doesn't
work, we do it my way.
C'mon, Waldo, we have
to figure out a way
to get the dome clean.
It's such a big job...
Hurry!
We gotta stop this monster!
I know, but I
feel bad for her.
I mean, she's only nasty
because of the plants
Hacker's feeding her.
Hey!
Let's see what else
is on that video.
But...if you'd rather
have a pet than a monster,
why not grow a
sweet, cuddly Flora?
It's just as easy.
Instead of
ultra-vicious plants,
feed your Flora
ultra-vivacious ones!
They grow wild on sunny
cybersites like Perfectamundo.
Matt!
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Yeah!
What's 'vivacious' mean?
It means 'happy'
and 'playful'.
C'mon, let's go pick some
rainbow-colored flowers!
These orange bits in the
propellent are what's sticking
to the dome.
But if we insert a filter
like this into each canister,
I think we can block 'em.
Go for it, Raz!
Well...?
No orange spots!
Way to go, Raz!
You did it!
All we have to do now is get
all the kids with cans of
Digifizz to come here
and put in the filters!
Well...there is one
other thing we should do.
What?
Help the Mayor and
Waldo clean up the dome.
It's a huge mess!
They'll never finish it alone.
Okay...
We can help - that's for sure!
And Matt and Inez
will help...and um...
Wait!
We can get ALL the kids
in Perfectamundo to help!
How we gonna do that?
We already gotta fix the
problem with the Digifizz --
the mayor gave us
less than an hour!
We can do both!
We can give out the
filters AND ask kids
to help clean the dome.
My friends from Inventor
Scouts will help us.
I see...the Inventor
Scouts will hand out the filters
AND spread the word
about cleaning the dome!
Raz, you're a genius!
So, how many Scouts
are in each group?
Four.
How many groups
in each school?
Ten.
And how many
schools have scouts?
All six.
That's a total of two hundred
forty Inventor Scouts!
And if each Scout talks to
ten kids and gives them each
a filter...we'll reach two
thousand four hundred kids!
And to contact all those kids
I only have to call six scouts
-one from each school.
Then everyone can meet
us in Town Square,
we'll help clean the dome,
and then we'll
celebrate with Digifizz!
Start callin'!
Hey, everyone...
thanks for coming!
Listen up to what my
partner has to say.
Take it away, Raz!
When I invented Digifizz.
I wanted the sparkles to
go really, really high.
So I just put this tiny
amount of propellent
into each canister.
I didn't know it would stick
to the top of the dome...but
that's what happened.
It's such a tiny amount,
you wouldn't think
it would matter.
But multiplied by all
the Digifizz we gave out,
it created a
really big problem.
So, the first thing we
gotta do is clean the dome.
Each of us only has to
do one little thing.
But if we all do it, the
effect will multiply -
- and be big enough
to solve the problem!
If you'll each clean a
small part of the dome,
we can get the job
done in a jiffy.
Everybody ready?
READY!
We did it!
You guys are AWESOME!
Now let's celebrate...
Did you all put the
filters on your Digifizz?
Yes!
Then let's rock
it...and unlock it!
Flora should be really
big and mean by now!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!
Ohhhh...she loves you, boss.
Yeah, she's got
a crush on you!
Let go of me,
you pernicious plant!
LET - ME - GOOOOOOOOOO!
Stay right where you are.
It's Cyberchase For Real!
Your birthday?
I thought your
birthday was in March.
No, I said it's Earth Day!
There's a rally in the park
and a bunch of us are going.
What's Earth Day?
It's a day
we celebrate the planet.
But every day
should be Earth Day
because we need everyone's help
to keep the environment clean.
Sounds like fun,
I'll bring some snacks.
Paper or Plastic?
Mmm... Both!
Hi.
Hi. You're late.
I'm not that late.
I love the park
this time of year.
Me too, I love having
this beautiful patch of green
in the middle of the city.
Winkie?
No, thanks.
Bianca!
What?
You're littering.
It's a wrapper,
it'll blow away.
It won't go away,
it'll just blow somewhere else.
What's the big deal?
We are all in this together.
You're one person,
and I'm one person,
but there are about
million people in this city
and more than million
people in this country,
if we all just
threw our trash on the ground
we'd be up
to our knees in garbage.
Look at this plastic bag.
When you throw it away,
it gets taken to a land fill
and takes hundreds
of years to disintegrate.
Even more
for these Styrofoam cups!
We think that when
we throw our trash away
it just disappears.
Well it doesn't!
AND, instead of drinking
from a plastic bottle
why not drink
from the water fountain
so there's no trash
when you're done.
Trash adds up Big Time.
What is your point?
Pollution is caused by
a lot of people not caring.
If everybody
just cared a little bit,
we could fix the problem.
You have a decision to make.
You're part of the problem,
or you can
be part of the solution.
You're part of the problem.
You're part of the problem.
Be part of the solution.
I don't want
to be part of the problem!
I don't want
to be part of the problem!
Paper or Plastic?
Cloth!
Oh. No, thanks.
I'm walking today.
Bianca! Hi!
Hi!
I thought
you were a taxi girl?
I was, but I decided
to become part of the solution.

That's a lotta little Digits!
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
PLEASE COME OUTSIDE!
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
What's up, Mayor?
What's wrong?
Orange spots!
They began appearing this
morning...and now they're
blocking our sun!
Fear not, folks!
The Mayor and I
will find the cause!
Right, Mayor?
I think we just found it.
Look!
There's orange stuff
coming out of that factory!
Shut it down! Shut it down!
And so we shall!
Let's go, Waldo!
We'll come with you!
Wait!
What about the Digifizz?
Oh, yeah.
I forgot!
You guys go.
We'll deliver the Digifizz!
Thanks, Jax.
HACKER?
The Hacker.
You should really
know that by now!
I didn't expect you
back so soon, Mayor.
Well, I didn't
expect to be back.
But we have a little
issue we need to address.
An issue?
Yes.
You're polluting our dome!
What?
I am not!
You have two choices, sir.
One: shut down your factory.
Or two: prove that
you're not the polluter!
I'll go with number two!

It's a challenge, I admit.
But we can't let
anything block our sun.
But as the number
of spots grows...
the problem is getting worse.
Our gardens are wilting!
Our lights are going out!
We're losing our heat!
The electricity's
shutting down!
Business is failing!
And our perfectly
perfect site...
Isn't perfect anymore!
I know, Waldo.
Keep scrubbing!
Hacker's gotta
be up to something -
or he wouldn't be here!
A secret room!
Whoa!
We gotta find out
what's in there!
I'm pooped!
I can't believe we delivered
more than two
thousand cans of Digifizz!
This should give us
enough for the next order.
Now we can go
help the Mayor figure out
what's making those spots.
Here you go, Jackie...
Ooops!
Sorry.
Hey, what's that?
No problemo - I'll
clean 'em off!
Yoikes!
These orange spots
look just like the ones
we saw on the dome!
How'd they get in here?
Heyyy...were they here before
I dropped the Digifizz?
Are you saying my Digifizz
caused those spots?
No, no!
I mean, I don't know!
It's just that-- Digifizz
isn't even orange!
Whoa, Raz, no one's saying--
How could you
even think to blame...
never mind!
Raz, wait!
Hurry up, Duncebuckets!
Bring more soup!
Nag, nag, nag!
I hear you, Buzzy.
Some day maybe we'll have our
own factory and make...oh,
I don't know...maybe noodles!
Not noodles...donuts!
Yeah!
Good one!
What is that thing?
Who's Hackie's
little monster, huh?
With very bad breath.
But don't worry, more
soup is on the way.
Oh, yes...you're going
to grow bigger and meaner
and scarier than any
monster in Cyberspace.
And you'll do whatever I say.
Right?
Uh oh!
Do you really think
Digifizz caused these spots?
I dunno...but we
can test the idea...
Rock it...and unlock it!
The sparkles disappeared!
Oh, no!
Six new spots!
...it's gotta be the Digifizz!
But, Jax, how can that be?
Like Raz said, there's no
orange in the sparkles!
That's right, it's
not in the sparkles...
I checked my notes.
There's orange stuff
in the propellent!
...Propellent?
The stuff that sends the
sparkles up in the air.
Which means maybe the Digifizz
is polluting the dome.
Hold on, there's only
six small spots up there.
How could little spots like
that make a big mess like the
one all over the dome?
Maybe you're right...
C'mon, guys, let's
think this through.
We know how many cans of
Digifizz we gave out, right?
One can per student...twenty
cans per class...
Three hundred forty
cans per school...
And two thousand forty
cans for all six schools!
The question is...how many
spots do all those cans make?
To find out, we need
to multiply each can
by three spots.
The first one is easy!
One can makes three spots.
That's not so many.
Not yet...
Twenty cans times three
spots is sixty spots.
The number's getting bigger.
And we're just
getting started.
Three hundred forty cans
times three spots is...
one thousand twenty!
And for six schools...a
total of six thousand
one hundred twenty spots!
Yoikes!
That's a lotta spots!
Enough to gunk up
the entire dome!
It's the multiplier
effect again!
Except this time, it
multiplied the problem big time!
Flora's getting huge!
And mean!
That's the point!
The more soup we feed her, the
bigger and meaner she'll get.
See?
Want to grow your
own Flora monster?
All you need are ultravicious
plants like these.
Just mash them up in water
and feed them to her.
The more Flora eats,
the nastier she gets!
One packet of
ultravicious seeds grows
fifty ultravicious plants!
So buy in bulk.
Available at a Mary Contrary
Garden Store near you.
Once I take over
Perfectamundo,
I'll grow another Flora...
and another one...
and one after that!
I'll have a whole army of
Floras - enough to take over
all of Cyberspace!
Let's go visit Mary Contrary!
All right, boss!
Who would think that
one little toy could cause
such a big problem?
You need to get back every
can of Digifizz you gave out -
immediately!
And don't make anymore!
But...what if I can fix it?
What if I can make it work
without the orange stuff?
...OK!
You have one hour.
But if that doesn't
work, we do it my way.
C'mon, Waldo, we have
to figure out a way
to get the dome clean.
It's such a big job...
Hurry!
We gotta stop this monster!
I know, but I
feel bad for her.
I mean, she's only nasty
because of the plants
Hacker's feeding her.
Hey!
Let's see what else
is on that video.
But...if you'd rather
have a pet than a monster,
why not grow a
sweet, cuddly Flora?
It's just as easy.
Instead of
ultra-vicious plants,
feed your Flora
ultra-vivacious ones!
They grow wild on sunny
cybersites like Perfectamundo.
Matt!
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Yeah!
What's 'vivacious' mean?
It means 'happy'
and 'playful'.
C'mon, let's go pick some
rainbow-colored flowers!
These orange bits in the
propellent are what's sticking
to the dome.
But if we insert a filter
like this into each canister,
I think we can block 'em.
Go for it, Raz!
Well...?
No orange spots!
Way to go, Raz!
You did it!
All we have to do now is get
all the kids with cans of
Digifizz to come here
and put in the filters!
Well...there is one
other thing we should do.
What?
Help the Mayor and
Waldo clean up the dome.
It's a huge mess!
They'll never finish it alone.
Okay...
We can help - that's for sure!
And Matt and Inez
will help...and um...
Wait!
We can get ALL the kids
in Perfectamundo to help!
How we gonna do that?
We already gotta fix the
problem with the Digifizz --
the mayor gave us
less than an hour!
We can do both!
We can give out the
filters AND ask kids
to help clean the dome.
My friends from Inventor
Scouts will help us.
I see...the Inventor
Scouts will hand out the filters
AND spread the word
about cleaning the dome!
Raz, you're a genius!
So, how many Scouts
are in each group?
Four.
How many groups
in each school?
Ten.
And how many
schools have scouts?
All six.
That's a total of two hundred
forty Inventor Scouts!
And if each Scout talks to
ten kids and gives them each
a filter...we'll reach two
thousand four hundred kids!
And to contact all those kids
I only have to call six scouts
-one from each school.
Then everyone can meet
us in Town Square,
we'll help clean the dome,
and then we'll
celebrate with Digifizz!
Start callin'!
Hey, everyone...
thanks for coming!
Listen up to what my
partner has to say.
Take it away, Raz!
When I invented Digifizz.
I wanted the sparkles to
go really, really high.
So I just put this tiny
amount of propellent
into each canister.
I didn't know it would stick
to the top of the dome...but
that's what happened.
It's such a tiny amount,
you wouldn't think
it would matter.
But multiplied by all
the Digifizz we gave out,
it created a
really big problem.
So, the first thing we
gotta do is clean the dome.
Each of us only has to
do one little thing.
But if we all do it, the
effect will multiply -
- and be big enough
to solve the problem!
If you'll each clean a
small part of the dome,
we can get the job
done in a jiffy.
Everybody ready?
READY!
We did it!
You guys are AWESOME!
Now let's celebrate...
Did you all put the
filters on your Digifizz?
Yes!
Then let's rock
it...and unlock it!
Flora should be really
big and mean by now!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!
Ohhhh...she loves you, boss.
Yeah, she's got
a crush on you!
Let go of me,
you pernicious plant!
LET - ME - GOOOOOOOOOO!
Stay right where you are.
It's Cyberchase For Real!
Your birthday?
I thought your
birthday was in March.
No, I said it's Earth Day!
There's a rally in the park
and a bunch of us are going.
What's Earth Day?
It's a day
we celebrate the planet.
But every day
should be Earth Day
because we need everyone's help
to keep the environment clean.
Sounds like fun,
I'll bring some snacks.
Paper or Plastic?
Mmm... Both!
Hi.
Hi. You're late.
I'm not that late.
I love the park
this time of year.
Me too, I love having
this beautiful patch of green
in the middle of the city.
Winkie?
No, thanks.
Bianca!
What?
You're littering.
It's a wrapper,
it'll blow away.
It won't go away,
it'll just blow somewhere else.
What's the big deal?
We are all in this together.
You're one person,
and I'm one person,
but there are about
million people in this city
and more than million
people in this country,
if we all just
threw our trash on the ground
we'd be up
to our knees in garbage.
Look at this plastic bag.
When you throw it away,
it gets taken to a land fill
and takes hundreds
of years to disintegrate.
Even more
for these Styrofoam cups!
We think that when
we throw our trash away
it just disappears.
Well it doesn't!
AND, instead of drinking
from a plastic bottle
why not drink
from the water fountain
so there's no trash
when you're done.
Trash adds up Big Time.
What is your point?
Pollution is caused by
a lot of people not caring.
If everybody
just cared a little bit,
we could fix the problem.
You have a decision to make.
You're part of the problem,
or you can
be part of the solution.
You're part of the problem.
You're part of the problem.
Be part of the solution.
I don't want
to be part of the problem!
I don't want
to be part of the problem!
Paper or Plastic?
Cloth!
Oh. No, thanks.
I'm walking today.
Bianca! Hi!
Hi!
I thought
you were a taxi girl?
I was, but I decided
to become part of the solution.
