In the | In the lunch line at [[Lakewood Elementary School|school]], [[Binky Barnes|Binky]], [[Buster Baxter|Buster]], [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]], [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], and [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] notice that some of their favorite vegetables are no longer being served. [[Leah MacGrady|Mrs. MacGrady]] explains that she is only serving in-season, locally-grown vegetables because they are better for the environment. She then explains air pollution and climate change, comparing pollution to "a lid trapping the heat [around Earth]." | ||

The kids | This inspires Francine to start a group called "[[Lakewood Elementary Eco Kids|Eco Kids]]" to brainstorm ideas of how to help the environment. The kids decide to start a campaign encouraging parents to turn off their cars while waiting in the school parking lot; they use the slogan "don't make us cough, turn you engine off!" This campaign goes very well, with a sign featuring the slogan being installing outside the school. | ||
Francine suggests that the next campaign should encourage kids to bike to school. The other kids like this idea; Francine adds "maybe one day we could make all of Elwood City totally car-free!" This alarms and worries Muffy, whose father owns [[Crosswire Motors]]. | Francine suggests that the next campaign should encourage kids to bike to school.

However, Muffy interrupts the brainstorm, and says that the group should focus on discouraging air travel instead of cars. This idea is thrown out because it doesn't involve the school. | ||
Francine becomes suspicious of Muffy; she watches as Muffy tosses the signatures in the recycling bin instead of bringing them to the principal. Francine reveals this to the rest of the group as Muffy explains that she did it to protect her dad's business. Francine tells her that environmental issues are "bigger than just you and your dad." | Francine becomes suspicious of Muffy; she watches as Muffy tosses the signatures in the recycling bin instead of bringing them to the principal.
