Back at home, we start on posters. Jenny writes out in bubble letters SAVE THE OCEANS while I draw a mighty blue whale underneath. It’s the largest mammal, or animal, to have ever existed on the entire planet. It’s a symbol worthy of the cause.

Then I start writing facts on a separate poster. Like how there are one hundred fifty million metric tons of plastic in all the oceans. If an elephant weighs a ton, then that’s like one hundred fifty million elephants of trash! The more I write and read, the worse I feel about what we’re doing to the oceans. I think learning about conservation might go hand in hand with feeling a little bad.

After we finish making the posters, I feel less upset, but like usual I want to do more. I lie down on my thinking rug.

“All the facts are sad, Jenny,” I say, frowning. “I really hope I can figure out how to fix the oceans.”

“A snack might make us smarter,” Jenny says, looking at the baking book. She’s been flipping through the pages as I worked on the posters.

We head to the kitchen and brainstorm over some galletas from the pantry. I don’t know if it really made us feel smarter, but the cookies sure improved our spirits.
