Joe Smith has loved the environment his entire twenty-two years on the Earth. His favorite part of it is the park he went to when he was younger. That very park was being torn down to build a new mall. There was no way in the world that Joe was going to let his entire park be destroyed. When he caught word that the park was being destroyed, he formulated a plan of what he needed to do. He set out for the park, deciding he must be the one to stop it from totally being destroyed. When Joe reached the park, his heart dropped. All was gone except one final tree in the middle of the park. The wrecking crew was on break so it gave him time to start his plan. Joe laid out his beach towel that he had been carrying, along with a pillow he brought from his couch. Joe laid down on the towel and laid his head on the pillow, which rested right in front of the last tree. When the wrecking crew returned, they saw him lying their and were moved by his love for the park. They knew that they could not finish destroying the park, even if it was their job. They had not known that this park was so important to someone who lived so close to it. They realized that the money to destroy it was not worth destroying a memory of someone’s childhood. Joe knew he had accomplished his goal. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in his favorite park next to his favorite tree.
