Flora and Fauna Stream
Advocacy/Self-Control
Fauna and her sister Flora are two young stewards of The Stream.
The environmentally conscious duo takes great care to ensure that plastic, glass, and metals get sorted. Disaster strikes when the Stream begins to overflow. They begin to panic, as the sheer volume almost destroys their home and garden! With the hopes of restoring order to their beloved ecology and saving their home from overuse, Fauna and Flora embark on a journey to the source of the Stream. Who is responsible for all the waste? How will Flora and Fauna save their home? Join Flora, Fauna, and their friend Offal on this journey to the heart of the Waste Stream.
