Changing things together

Mendez, Karina

Rubbish

Setting: Outdoors. Morning

Jorge throws a bottle in the street and his friends tell him to pick it up and put it in the been. They give reasons for it.

Ernesto: No, Jorge. You shouldn´t do this.

Jorge: Why not?

Ernesto: Because it is bad for the environment.

Jorge: Really?

Ernesto: Yes, because more garbage is accumulating day after day, the street is getting dirtier.

Jorge: I don´t care about that!

Ernesto: You have to care about it because it is part of your life.

Jorge: I don `t care about the others

Ernesto: You should care about the environment, because it will be the future and the place where your children will live in.
