A Ripple of Change
On Juhu beach, Commander Turtle watched a young boy cleaning garbage washed ashore by the tide — every single day, with quiet determination. Inspired, he summoned his marine troops and declared a war on ocean waste. Sharks broke down large trash, jellyfish and octopuses picked it up, and whales hauled it away. Days later, more children had joined the mission, and the beach looked cleaner. Commander Turtle spotted a poster on a bin that read, “Together we can.” He smiled — the war had truly begun.
The Dream
While fishing, Sandy’s net got stuck on a rusted anchor. Diving in to free it, he was suddenly dragged into the ocean's midnight zone by a strange creature. Surrounded by waste and transforming into a monster, he felt helpless—until his son’s voice calling for help with a water bottle woke him up. Drenched in sweat, he looked over and saw a UN poster on ocean conservation by 2030. It was just a dream—but one that left him thinking, and hopeful.
