The Saving of the Earth

Once upon a time, there was a world that was like ours: they polluted and damaged the Earth. Down below is a story that took place in that world.

The people from that planet loved the Earth but did not know how to care for the Earth properly. They dumped acids into the rivers and streams, stacked trash on the land, and released harmful chemicals into the air. In a few decades, the world was a world of trash. Everyone was very melancholy about the Earth being filthy.
 
One day, a new baby was born into the world. Nobody knew, but that baby was created for cleaning the Earth. As the baby grew older, he grew increasingly interested in the Earth. One day, when he was nine, he saw that the rivers were purple and gray, and he became incredibly sad. He decided he would do something about it.

First, he organized groups to help clean up the trash. He conducted research and found out something: you could recycle plastic and paper! He told other people about this technique, and they soon got rid of all the trash on the land.

His next ambition was to get rid of waste in the waters. One day, in his laboratory, he made a brilliant deduction: he figured out the way to filter water. He brought his crew to the river and streams and soon cleared the filthy water.

Next was the air. He fumbled around with electricity until he found a way to purify the air. He made multiple machines and operated them. Very quickly, the air started to become clean again.

He was happy with his accomplishment and wanted to spread the word about how to clean the Earth. Today, he hopes this story will help you purify the Earth. The World Cleaner’s final sentence before he died was: “You don’t want the world’s last drop of water to be your tears.” He hopes that the world can stay healthy, and everyone can contribute!
