0:01:00 > 0:01:02- HEY!- Whoa! Oof!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04CRASH!

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Have you thought how much stuff you have?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12I never play with half these toys!

0:01:12 > 0:01:16I keep them anyway, maybe I'll want to play with them someday.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Except for this Poogle. I'll never play with this again.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24But it might wind up being a collector's item.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25I'd better hold on to it.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28We know about some ancient civilisations

0:01:28 > 0:01:31because they held onto their stuff for a long time.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35This pyramid was built by the Pharaoh, Khufu,

0:01:35 > 0:01:38mainly to protect his stuff.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40HELICOPTER WHIRS

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Look down there!

0:01:41 > 0:01:45That's trash that's floating round the Pacific.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49It may be garbage now but people owned a lot of it.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51More stuff!

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Eurgh!

0:01:53 > 0:01:55This amphora was found in the ocean.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00The Ancient Greeks used it to hold liquid, over 2,000 years ago.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Stuff!

0:02:01 > 0:02:02CAMERA CLICKS

0:02:02 > 0:02:06What will happen to your stuff 2,000 years from now?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Will it be piece of history, exhibited in a museum somewhere?

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Or just trash, floating around the ocean?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22This is the school gym now.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26When I'm on the decorating committee for the fair,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29it will be transformed into this! Voila!

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Oooh!- Aaah!

0:02:31 > 0:02:36Ladies and gentlemen, behold our new school, Rainforest Elementary!

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Thank you for that lovely display, Muffy, but as I said before,

0:02:41 > 0:02:46the two students on the committee are to be selected randomly.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Oh... And I already got a great deal on the giant, plastic trees.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54You do know this is an Earth Day Fair, right?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Plastic trees might send the wrong message.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Just because it's ecological doesn't mean it can't be fun.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Prunella was selected to represent the fourth grade.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Representing our class...

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Arthur Read.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11It had better be fabulous!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I thought we could do a collage

0:03:13 > 0:03:16of stuff from Earth Days we've had and...

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Beware the closet! It will swallow you whole!

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Mwahahahaha!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Rubella, cut it out!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27That's the last time you borrow my cloak.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29What did she mean about your closet?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32She thinks I save too much stuff.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34She says I'm a packrat.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I've got some things we can use.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Here's a box of pine cones from last winter.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, wait. These are just pencil stubs.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47All my quizzes from second grade. Don't want to look at those.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Here's a bag of packing peanuts.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Might be useful as part of a display.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53Ah! What are these?

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Shoelaces. If one breaks, I save the broken piece.- Why?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I don't know. I just do.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01I forget what's in this.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, ticket stubs!

0:04:03 > 0:04:06One from Princess On Ice when I was four!

0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Um, I'm going to go back out. OK?- Sure, I'll just be a sec.- Phew!

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Ooh! My first-grade mittens!

0:04:15 > 0:04:16Cute!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Where are those snow globes? I saw them... Agh!

0:04:19 > 0:04:21CRASH!

0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Are you OK?- I'm fine. Happens all the time!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh! This is what I was looking for!

0:04:27 > 0:04:30We can use this in a global warming display.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Um, I have to get home. It's almost time for dinner.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Sorry. I guess I got a little distracted.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41We may get more done if we're at the Sugar Bowl. I'll call you.

0:04:41 > 0:04:47OK! But don't buy anything. We've got everything we need, right here.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Ah!

0:04:48 > 0:04:51What's wrong with collecting stuff? I collect food.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Look what I found in the garden. - What is it?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57A sweet potato, shaped like a little man.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59I call him "Yamlet".

0:04:59 > 0:05:03But with Prunella, it's not just one thing, like food.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05She saves everything.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10She was just going through boxes and we didn't talk about the fair.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14I used to have trouble getting rid of stuff, then my mum got me this book.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19"Neatnik Ned's Guide To Clearing Clutter." You read this?

0:05:19 > 0:05:24Yeah! Well, I read the first chapter. But that was life-changing.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Maybe it can help Prunella.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Are you done with that wrapper? It'd be great for Yamlet's ghost.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36No, it's my stuff and you can't make me throw it away!

0:05:36 > 0:05:39I said, "I thought you'd like this book".

0:05:39 > 0:05:43What you're saying is, "You should get rid of that junk".

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Well, it's not junk to me.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Everything inside this room has deep meaning for me.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, is that so?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54This sock with a hole in it?

0:05:54 > 0:05:58That was the sock I wore when I read my first Henry Skreever book.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02It's a baby's sock. You couldn't read when you were one!

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, I really like its blueness.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08It could be part of an art project someday.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12What about this egg carton? Is it part of the project?

0:06:12 > 0:06:17OK. I guess I could get rid of one or two things.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Neatnik Ned says you should put things into piles.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25Let's make "Keep", "Get Rid Of" and "Stuff For The Fair" piles.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27We'll help you start.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Prunie, you need to let go.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33PRUNELLA SIGHS

0:06:33 > 0:06:35There. That's the "Get Rid Of" pile.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46THEY GRUNT

0:06:54 > 0:06:57The wall! I completely forgot it was pink!

0:06:57 > 0:06:59You can stare at the wall later.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02We need to get to the collection centre.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'll do it. You've done enough.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06How will you manage that by yourself?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Just help me load it into my wagon.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I feel better having less stuff.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13Thanks, Arthur.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18You should thank Buster. He said I should give you the book.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Although, he's still a bit of a packrat himself.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Hi, there.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29I know where metal, paper and glass go, how about this?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32There. Help yourself to whatever's clean. It's free!

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Ooh! I wonder if there's anything good!

0:07:35 > 0:07:38No, Prunie. You must resist.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47Ah! A Henry Skreever thermos!

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Hmm. I could use a hand mirror. Ah!

0:07:55 > 0:07:58'Prunie, you need to let go.'

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Hi, Buster.- Thanks for lending me the book.- Isn't it great?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Oh, I love it. Changed my life.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17- Me, too!- You know what I found at the market yesterday?

0:08:17 > 0:08:19A beet, shaped just like a heart.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21And it's this big.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Want it?- Yes!- It's yours. I need a favour.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Could you keep some stuff for me today? I'll get it tomorrow.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31BUSTER GASPS

0:08:37 > 0:08:42What do you think, Yamlet? "Two beets, or not two beets?"

0:08:42 > 0:08:46We'll have an area about swamps and marshes.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48This section can be on melting icecaps.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51You have the decorations for that, right?

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Oh, yeah. It's all in the "Stuff For The Fair" pile.- Great.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Could I come and get the Neatnik Ned book?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00I'd like to read it, too.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Now?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Is that OK? It'll only take a minute.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Sure! Of course it's OK.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Why wouldn't it be OK?

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Wait right here, I'll be back with it in just a sec.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Here's a magazine. Make yourself at home!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I'm fine.- Happens all the time.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28You never threw anything out!

0:09:28 > 0:09:34I did! Then I got some things at the recycling centre. And then more.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Don't worry. Those decorations are in here.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41I promise I'll find them in time.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Oh, look. It's Neatnik Ned.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Here you go. - You need it more than me.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I hope you get a bigger closet.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53I can't imagine what it's going to be like in here a year from now.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Oh. Arthur is right.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23I can't go on like this.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27OK, stuff! Prepare to get organised.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Try some locally grown, organic borscht.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46You didn't save the heart-shaped beet?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Nah, I'm through collecting food.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Check out Yamlet.

0:10:50 > 0:10:55Wow. If I were decorating, this would've been more dramatic.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Couldn't you have gotten a polar bear?

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Prunella has a stuffed polar bear doll.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04But I guess she decided not to show.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06MICROPHONE SCREECHES

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Testing, testing. Hey, this actually works.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14I haven't used this in years.

0:11:14 > 0:11:20I wanted to let everyone know that everything on this table is free,

0:11:20 > 0:11:22including this microphone.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27Not yet! Let me finish. I have two requests, though.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Don't hold on to anything you take for too long.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Give it to someone else when you're done.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35We all just share it!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Thanks.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42An interesting take on recycling.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44What's your second request?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Well, I'll need a little help from everyone.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52Everything on this wagon is for a special work of art.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Now, that's what I call recycling!

0:12:01 > 0:12:04# Every day when you're walking down the street

0:12:04 > 0:12:09# Everybody that you meet Has an original point of view

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- # And I say hey!- Hey!

0:12:13 > 0:12:15# What a wonderful kind of day!
