Two years ago, Sarah passed by a park and found plastic bottles and empty cans everywhere. Sarah felt sad. One day, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. That was when Sarah got an idea. "Mum, what if we sell handmade crafts?" she asked excitedly. "Then we can buy trees for our neighbourhood with the money.

Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. By the end of the first month, Sarah had made $150. She bought 30 small trees. Together with her parents, they planted the trees around the park.

Now, the neighbourhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for new projects like bird feeders.
