Living Without Plastic
Join Maya, a cheerful and curious 9-year-old, on her inspiring journey to live a plastic-free life in bustling Hồ Chí Minh City. After a school project on environmental conservation, Maya learns about the harm plastic causes to the planet and decides to take action in her daily life. With creativity and determination, she faces challenges, finds solutions, and inspires her community to embrace sustainability. Can Maya overcome the obstacles and make a lasting difference?
Maya was excited about her new school project on environmental conservation. Her teacher, Ms. Lien, had explained how plastic was harming the planet, and Maya was determined to make a change. But in her home city of Hồ Chí Minh, plastic was everywhere! Maya felt overwhelmed by the challenge. How could she convince everyone to live without plastic?
Maya's first obstacle appeared the next day at breakfast. Her cereal came in a plastic bag, and her juice was in a plastic bottle. - How can we change this, Mom? Maya asked, feeling frustrated. Her mom shrugged, unsure of an easy solution. Maya realized this challenge was going to be harder than she thought.
Determined to find solutions, Maya visited the local market with her dad. She saw plastic bags everywhere and tried to convince vendors to use cloth bags instead. - But these are more expensive! a vendor explained. Disheartened, Maya felt like she was failing. - How can I make a difference if no one wants to change? she wondered.
Feeling defeated, Maya thought about giving up. She sat in her room, staring at the colorful posters of her favorite cartoon characters. - Maybe I'm too small to make a difference, she sighed. But just then, her teacher's words echoed in her mind. - Even small changes can lead to big results, Mr. Bao had said.
Inspired by Mr. Bao's words, Maya decided to start small. She organized a workshop at school to teach her classmates about making eco-friendly crafts. - Let's make our own reusable bags! she announced cheerfully. Her friends joined in, excited to learn. Slowly, Maya's enthusiasm began to spread.
With help from her friends and family, Maya's efforts grew. Her school launched a 'plastic-free week' campaign, and the local news even featured her story! - We can do this together, Maya smiled, feeling proud. Her hard work paid off, showing that even one determined child can inspire change.
