Old Man Eli's Story: How People Saved the Earth

Once upon a time, there was a man named Old Man Eli who loved to tell stories to kids. He told them about a time when the world was a little bit wonky and people didn't always take care of the earth. But then, people got clever and started working together to make things better. They turned waste into something useful, like gardens and green walls. They even planted trees and buried time capsules to remember the good things that happened each year. And when they opened the time capsules years later, they laughed at the silly things they thought would happen in the future. But even though they didn't get all the technology right, they made the world a kinder and greener place to live. And that's something to laugh and smile about!
