Bow: On the commune,
we loved summertime

because frequent droughts meant
we didn't have to take a bath.

But in the real world,

we looked forward to summer
for a different reason.

I'm so glad
school's over.

Me, too.

My brain is full.

Guys? There's still
two weeks left.

Can you at least
pretend to learn?

I'll do my best.

[ Ms. Collins speaking
indistinctly ]
Hey, Rainbow, you want
to sign my yearbook?

And that's why
no one in this room

will live to see
the eighth grade.

Hold on.
Wait, what?

Oh.
Now you're interested.

No. Go back to signing
your little yearbooks.

No. Please.
We want to live.

Okay. Fine.

This is a hole
in the ozone layer.

It's caused by the CFC we use
in our hairsprays,

air conditioners,
and refrigerators.

And scientists say
that it won't be long

till the ozone layer
is completely gone.

No big deal, right?

Wrong!

Because when it's gone,
the sun's ultraviolet rays

are gonna come down
and give us skin cancer.

And, yeah,
that's the one reason

why it won't be great
to be white.

And you should
say everything you can

while there's still time.

Speaking of -- Timmy?

I would love
to be your stepmom,

so if you could
give my number to your dad...

then maybe someone
would get an "A."

Newscaster:
News reports continue to pour
in from the disaster at...

Bow: Ever since I found out
about the hole in the ozone,

I was glued to the news.

It's so hard to watch what
people are doing to the planet.

Then don't.

Newscaster: ...detected
as far away as Sweden.

What? I want to watch
"Night Court"!

...10 kilometers, causing...

Bow: The hole in the ozone layer
could cause blindness

and kill everything
in the ocean.

It was like the news was a car
wreck and I couldn't look away.

But then I saw the way
that I could help.

This Friday is Earth Day,

the biggest secular observance
in the world,

started in 1970 by Wisconsin
Senator Gaylord Nelson

after a major oil spill
in Santa Barbara, California.

The first Earth Day
was a tremendous success,

with everyday citizens
demonstrating

how they could
help save the planet

by volunteering at home,
at school, or at the office.

Bow: That was it.

If I could get my school
to celebrate Earth Day,

then I could save the planet.

But if we don't
continue its legacy

by making some
serious changes soon,

it may be too late
to save the planet.

Alicia:
One for you and one for you.
Harrison: Thank you.

Bowdie, what's going on?

You didn't sleep over there,
did you?

Bow: Have you ever dreamed
that you woke up

but you were still
actually sleeping?

I must have fallen asleep
watching the news.

Did you guys know there's
a big hole in the ozone layer?

NASA says it'll be gone
in 20 years.

This is what
you worry about?

Dag, do all mulattos

carry the weight of the world
on they shoulders?

Nope. [ Pops lips ]
That's just her. Mm.

Yeah.
I sleep like a baby.

Whoa.
Two teeth came out.

[ Clink ]

At least
you have good news.

I forgot to study
for a math test.

Why are you guys
being weird?

Yeah, why was everyone
being weird?

Harrison:
Relax, Bowdie. We've seen
this kind of thing before.

You probably didn't hear of,
uh, acid rain,

but that was just an excuse
to take lead out of gasoline

so they could charge more
to fill my Jaguar.

I had to get a Ferrari.

I have a Ferrari.
[ Scoffs ]

Well, I can't just hope
the planet fixes itself.

If I could get the teachers

to let us start doing Earth Day
at Mondale,

maybe we could start
a recycling program

or plant some trees
or ban CFCs at school.

What's Earth Day?

It sounds suspiciously
Caucasian.

But...I don't know.

Do you think the teachers
will listen to me?

They will if you have
a clear plan.

Write down what you just said
and give it to them.

Yeah.
We'll help, too.

I mean, I've been slacking
on composting.
Mm.

I'll get the people
at the office to volunteer.

On behalf of the office,
no, thank you.

Okay. I'm gonna talk to
Ms. Collins at school today.

Why do you all
encourage her?

See?

[ Clink ]

[ Sighs ]

I had a weird morning.

I guess I zoned out
on my way here

and ended up
back at school.

Strange.

I had
a weird morning, too.

This lady told me
a pointless story.

Whatever, Harrison.

Did you throw away
my sign-up sheet for Earth Day?

Technically,
I recycled it.

Come on, if we don't
honor Earth Day,

your granddaughter
will be very disappointed.

Well, then you shouldn't
disappoint my granddaughter

by telling her.

Could you at least
stop eating

out of those
Styrofoam containers?

But this is a McDLT.

It has a cool side
and a hot side.

The Styrofoam keeps
the cool side cool
and the hot side hot.

Or would you prefer
my hot side cool
and my cool side hot?

How is this even a debate?
[ Exhales sharply ]

This is really important
to Rainbow.

You know I love that kid,

but you're talking
about Styrofoam.

Recycling.

You --
You seriously suggesting

that major companies start
basing their business decisions

on 13-year-old girls?

Now, if you don't mind,
I'd like to finish my lunch

before my hot side is cool
and my cool side is hot.

Hmm?

Okay, people were losing teeth
and ending up back at school?

Things were definitely weird,
but I still needed Ms. Collins

to help me with
my Earth Day plans.

[ Door creaks,
indistinct conversations ]

Um...

whose student is this?

Hey, Ms. Collins,
would you like to help me

get Earth Day started
at Mondale?

Uh, yes, it's so nice
to meet you, too,

for the first time,
mystery student.

[ Whispering ]
What are you doing here?

I found other schools
that have done Earth Day,

and this shows that it actually
increased recycling

in the surrounding areas.

[ Normal voice ] Yes, that seems
like "off the clock" work,

Earth Day,

and while we'd love to, right,
our union, eh...

forbids it.

But you're the one
who taught us

about the hole
in the ozone layer

and how we're all
gonna die.

Mm...yeah,
but that's in 20 years.

What you need
to worry about

is the pop quiz I'm giving
this afternoon.

Wait, what?

You see what happens
when you make me waste

a perfectly good menthol?

Anyway, I'm sure
this mystery child

will figure this out
all by herself.

That was strange,
even for Ms. Collins.

And Aunt Dee-Dee was --

well, she was still
Aunt Dee-Dee.

Oh, that
doesn't go there.

That's not trash?
That's compost.

Compost's not trash?

Yes, but that's not just trash.
It's organic waste.

Uh, this one's trash,
and that one is recycling.

So you got three different
piles of garbage?

White people really are
something special.

How is trying to help
the environment a white thing?

Because we didn't
make the mess.

We couldn't even own trash
for over 400 years,

but now you want me
to help you sort it?

Well, uh, in our defense,
this is a very simple system.

Sorry, but since we never
got our reparations,

littering is one
of the only ways

black people get to
feel powerful.

Speaking of which...

Oh, dude! My Birks!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

I couldn't count on anyone.

Not my teachers or my parents.

But I still knew all I had to
do was stay positive.

We don't have long
to live.

What are we gonna do?

I've always wanted to see
the Grand Canyon.

No. I mean about
the ozone layer.

This seems like something
the adults should handle.

Adults don't care. They're 30.
They've lived their lives.

Look, I've been watching the
news, and this is really bad.

Scientists say the UV rays
coming through the ozone hole

gives skin cancer
to humans and animals.

They're calling it
AIDS from the sky.

It's true.
They really called it that.

Come on. You really think
there's a hole in the sky?

I just played tetherball,
and I didn't see any hole.

I want a rematch,
by the way.

Bring it on, baby arms.

Stop. I told you short arms
run in my family.

Have you guys seen that music
video where that really cute guy

brings that girl
into her drawings?

This was my dream.

Why couldn't I get them
to listen to me?

Come on!
Stay focused.

We need to figure out
how we're gonna start
Earth Day at Mondale.

Dude, do we have to
do this right now?

Lunch is
the only break we get.

Yeah. We're trying to be polite
by ignoring you.

Well, you're not gonna
be able to ignore it
when your face melts off.

I'm trying to save your lives.
Or are you too dumb to see it?

Geez, Rainbow.

My teachers failed me,
my friends failed me.

It seemed like this dream was
about to turn into a nightmare.

Is this seat taken?

Unless...

Just kidding.
[ Laughs ]

I would never.

I couldn't even dream of
a little sister who loved me.

I couldn't wake up,
and what had started as a dream

was turning into a nightmare.

Hey!
How'd it go today?

Bad. No one wanted to help me
with Earth Day.

But before you say anything,
I'm not giving up.

I'm writing a letter
to the superintendent.

A letter?
Yeah.

I'm gonna demand that he require
Mondale to do Earth Day.

And you're gonna do that
in a letter?

God, we failed her.

Bowdie, do you think your father
and I would be legally married

if we had tried
to fight the power with postage?

No. We wouldn't.

The only way we'd be able
to live together is a lifetime

of me pretending to be
her terminally ill patient.

And you kids couldn't live
in the house with us.

You'd blow our cover.

You'd have to live
in the shed.

The shed?
The shed.

So, if you
appreciate flooring,

you need to pay it forward
by fighting back for real.

Bowdie, you have to look
at adversity in the face

and fight back
by any means necessary.

I don't know.

Bowdie, letters take too long,
and they don't always work.

So you can't just sit here
and let the planet burn.

Trust me,
you're doing what's right,

and everybody
will see that.

Not everyone.

Santi, you know
hairspray's bad for the ozone!

Oh, well. Bangs are more
important than the environment.

Johan, come on.

Spray deodorants
have CFCs in them.

Use roll-on.

But spray doesn't tempt me
to eat it.

See? I think I'm more
of a letter person.

No, this is how you
look adversity in the face.

Yeah.
But I --

How are you so strong?
My bangs!
