Scene 1 – Meet Planet Earth (30 seconds)
Narrator
Hi, everyone!
This is our home...
Planet Earth!
Earth gives us clean air...
Water to drink...
Trees to climb...
Animals to love...
and yummy food to eat!
But Earth needs our help.
Scene 2 – What Is Global Warming? (45 seconds)
Narrator
Have you ever worn a coat?
A coat keeps you warm.
Earth's atmosphere is like a giant blanket.
That's a good thing!
But when people make too much pollution,
the blanket gets too thick.
Then Earth gets warmer and warmer.
This is called Global Warming.
A warmer Earth can cause hotter summers,
stronger storms,
and make it harder for some plants and animals to live.
Scene 3 – Where Does Trash Go? (45 seconds)
Show:
Apple core
Banana peel
Leaves
Grass
Landfill
Narrator:
Every day we throw away food scraps.
Banana peels...
Apple cores...
Egg shells...
Leaves...
Most of these end up in giant piles called landfills.
When food rots in a landfill, it can make gases that warm our planet even more.
Scene 4 – Enter Compost! (1 minute)
Narrator:
But guess what?
Nature has a superhero!
It's called...
COMPOST!
Compost is made when tiny helpers—
worms...
bugs...
fungi...
and tiny living things—
turn old food into rich, healthy soil.
Show time-lapse:
Food scraps →
worms →
dark soil →

happy kids.
