I am so so sorry that i haven’t posted anything in the past few weeks. It’s just that in my school we had to take a bunch of these state tests, and I had a bunch of other quizzes and tests, and a lot of projects and assignments that I had to do that were worth like 80% of my grade for the semester. Again I’m rally sorry but from now on, I will post frequently.

Right now I am posting a script that I wrote for E.A.R.T.H. Club. We are going to be filming a mini-movie for the whole entire school to see( we will most likely film it next year though but still use my script.) I had written a story for my homeroom class about the Earth, moon, sun, and the stars that was part of a small assignment. My friends all read it and showed it to each other when it fell out of my backpack when we had a meeting for Earth club. So that was how I was voted as the screenwriter for this project. Please enjoy!

E.A.R.T.H Club Video Screenplay

Written by Kanmani Harivenkatesh

Characters:

Earth Club Member(ECM), Student( will often be referred to as he/she in screenplay.)

Fade In:

Student is finishing up lunch and slowly getting up.

He/she walks up to the bins lined up close to the entrance/exit, and dumps the rubbish in a random bin without giving it a second thought.

ECM: Hey wait a minute!

Starts blocking the entrance, both arms outstretched on either side of the entry/exit.

Student: Um, can you like, let me go?

Attempts to slip away from the exasperated club member.

ECM: I don’t think so.

They say as they gently grab the runaway student by the arm.

Student: What’s the big deal here?

ECM: Do you even know what you just did?

He/she looks confused and tries to come up with a legible answer.

ECM points to the bin in which he/she dumped in all of the garbage.

Student: So?

ECM: This is terrible for the planet. In fact let me show you.

Rummages through the piles of trash and retrieves the items the student threw away moments before

ECM holds up each one. There is one soda can, one napkin, a styrofoam bowl half filled with fruit, and plastic fork, spoon, and a straw all wrapped in plastic wrap.

ECM: If you put this, a aluminum can in the landfill bin, it will take 200-500 years for it to decompose and break down… But, if you put it in the recycling it would be, well, recycled.

Student: Okay, can I please just go now?

ECM: What’s the rush anyway, class doesn’t start until 11:35, it’s only( looks at the clock mounted high on the wall) 11:15. Besides, you need a lesson on-

He/she cuts the ECM of by saying:

Student: How I’m affecting the planet, yeah yeah. I got it, come on continue.

ECM: I thought so. Anyway, you have to organize your items in the proper bins, not just toss them in a miscellaneous one without even thinking.

ECM holds up each item, indicating the student to analyze each one. ECM then puts them in the proper bins. The fruit and the napkin in the compost, the soda can, plastic fork, plastic spoon, and the straw and plastic wrap in the recycling. And the Styrofoam in the landfill. ECM then hands the items to the student who looks nervous and unknowing.

Student: Um, I’ll try.

He/she tries again multiple times until they finally had gotten it. ECM grins.

ECM: Do you understand how our actions can affect or home?

He/she nods.

Student: Yeah, sorry I didn’t pay attention before.

ECM: You just didn’t know, but know you do, and remember to tell others to do the same.
