Once Camellia goes to 1st grade, she leaves Floppy at home, where he is picked up by Orchid, the house dog. In an undignified manner, Orchid chews Floppy up. He throws Floppy out the window onto the sidewalk. Floppy then gets run over by Yumi's scooter (Yumi lived right next to Camellia), and Yumi notices Floppy, and takes him home. "Can you sew this frog back together, Dad?" she explains. "Sure, Sweetie." "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Yumi says like a video on 2x speed. ]]> 2023-04-06 18:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2546524420 25461221 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547367730 Floppy soon finds out that Yumi's dad is a tailor, so they all went on a trip so that Yumi's dad could sew clothes for people in England. One day, when Yumi had Floppy on the edge of a ship, Floppy got thrown overboard by a strong gust of wind. "Aaahh, Floppy!" she shrieks in surprise. Sinking, he looks down and sees all the plastics. He gets tangled in the decapitated head of a Funko pop, but Floppy cannot get free (he cannot move, but at least that also means he cannot drown). Thankfully, a purple fish swimming by observes Floppy and untangles him with one fin, because the other is caught in bubble wrap. "There you go." ]]> 2023-04-07 20:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547367730 25461221 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547371020 Soon, a rain of plastic starts descending on him like a cat would a mouse. His eyes stinging, he thinks this torture will be his fate, but then he gets reeled in by Eugene, a boy on a ship. Eugene gets disgusted, but the dad (a person who recycles plastics) likes Floppy. One day, when the dad is sleeping, Eugene throws Floppy away. The next morning, the garbage truck comes, and Floppy is shipped away to a faraway dump with an annoying plastic bottle named Bob. At the dump, Floppy thinks he is going to die.  ]]> 2023-04-07 20:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547371020 25461221 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547378615 20 years later, Camilia inherits her parents' estate and joins Yumi, (who is now an adult, and has bought a house of her own), to start a nonprofit that helps keep plastics out of the landfill and make landfills more secure.  ]]> 2023-04-07 21:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547378615 2544078 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547383029 While a normal human might not see it, Floppy saw that Bob's bits of plastic molecules were coming off, incredibly slowly. They stung his eyes, they went down his mouth and gave him a terrible stomachache (although, technically, he did not have a stomach). Cloudia, Floppy and Bob talk about how Bob should have been recycled. Bob groans in pain as time passes by and he breaks down. Floppy, being a stuffed animal, could only sit and endure this continual maltreatment. On top of that, it did not help that the microplastics stuck to him like a leech. ]]> 2023-04-07 21:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2547383029 2544078 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2549032294 Coincidently, Floppy's viewpoint was pointing up, and he saw a small green-gray cloud that smelled bad and was growing by the minute. Confuzzled, because clouds should float up and be blown around by the wind. Floppy asks why the cloud is stuck on the landfill and what is her name. Cloudia, (that is the cloud) replies that she was created by the trash smells, and she wanted to explore the world, but she liked humans. Because of this, she stayed in the landfill, because the gases would harm living people and animals. Floppy thinks that were a good deed, for he likes GOOD humans too. He finds a small sanction in the plastic palace when he befriends Cloudia the smog cloud.]]> 2023-04-10 16:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2549032294 25534181 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2549034212 While Cloudia and Floppy are in another intense argument about the economy, Floppy thinks that he sees Camellia, but then is discouraged, because he has had delusions of seeing Camellia multiple times. But then, when he sees Camellia again, she is next to a big fat blob, labeled Robert. Floppy is truly befuddled by his incessant need to eat ... what looks like a chubby yellow rabbit. Optimistically, Floppy decides to interpret it as candy.  ]]> 2023-04-10 16:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2549034212 2544078 https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2554897618 After around an hour of the field trip, Camellia notices Floppy, but not after being thoroughly depressed by sad exclamations like, most of the things in the dump can be composted or recycled. She picks up Floppy with absolutely no notice of how dirty he is. Camellia does not want other people to be bereft of their things via the dump, but since she is a kid, all she can do is take Floppy to her house and mend him. ]]> 2023-04-14 18:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/25461221/r24ikaijj6tbakq2/wish/2554897618
