09x03 - Trash Creep

[bunniefuu]

Ok, there's this really bad dude named Hacker.

THE Hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

the cyberworld
from Motherboard.

The three kids
are sucked into cyberspace

and they use brain power
to help save everybody.

Ok, here's the plan.

So they travel all over

and run into
all these weird creatures.

And have all
these awesome adventures.

It's totally
up to them to save cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a
wacky bird outsmart The Hacker?

NEVER!

There's only
one way to find out.

Tune in to CyberChase.

Cyberchase - we're moving

we're b*ating
Hacker at his game.

Don't tell me that he's
trying to hack the Motherboard

we'll get him every time.

Freaky places that we've seen.

We've got the power
of one, two, three, four!

Running in the Cyberchase

We meet him face to face

We'll stick
together all the time

Adventures in cyberspace

The chase is on!

C-y-b-e-r-chase!

Good news, boss!

Big problems on Perfectomundo!

Perm-femm-to-hmmm-moo?

See?

They got so much trash
it's gonna bust

right through the roof!

He-he-he.

Remember those giant, monster
plants you grew the last time

we were there?

Yeah!

We were going to use 'em to
take over all of cyberspace!

Yyyyyyyyyyyes!

That's it!

We'll grow a new army
of monster plants!

Buzz!

Recall that box of seeds
I told you to stash?

Uh, stash?

He, I thought you said trash!

I threw the box in the dump.

Dump? ?

Are you saying that my box of
monster-making seeds is at the

bottom of that giant trash heap?

Uh, well, um...yeah.

Has the trash reached
the top yet, Waldo?

Not yet, Mayor!

Whoa...oa...oa...oa...

There are still a
few inches left.

Oh, Waldo, this is a disaster.

I designed Perfectomundo
to be perfect!

How could I have forgotten
where to put the trash?

Speaking of 'where to put',
where should I put these plants

for the Jubilee?

At this rate, Mary, there's
not going to be a Jubilee!

The Mayor's right.

How can we have a party to
celebrate our first year

as a cybersite with that
growing higher by the hour?

I believe this is
your lucky day, Mayor.

Hacker?

At your service.

I'm here to assist you
- in your time of need.

But you never help anybody!

Au contraire, Mayor.

That is a gross misconception.

Yeah.

The boss is really a good guy.

With a Master of
Trash degree, too.

Oh. I wasn't aware of that.

Ohh, neither was I.

It's true.

As a longtime student of
environmental hazards in

cyberspace, I came here as
soon as I read the report

in the newspaper.

Don't trust him, Mayor!

He's The Hacker!

Don't be so quick to judge.

If there's one thing The
Hacker knows well - it's trash!

You're hired!

[Ohhh! ! ]

[Ohhh! ! ]

Now to find my box of seeds!

Mayor!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Stop!

STOP, I SAY!

You're fired!

Wow!

What if that trash makes
it all the way to the top?

I'd say that dome is doomed!

Ma-at! This is serious.

Serious and stinky, I bet.

Cybersquad! You must make
Perfectomundo perfect again...

[STATIC]...go now! Hurry!

I don't care how you do
it, just get rid of it!

Please, we're desperate!

Don't worry, Mayor, taking
this trash away is a slam dunk.

Taking it away
isn't the problem.

It's the next load of
trash, and the one after

that they have to worry about.

Well, that's the
trouble with trash,

there's always more of it.

I've got it!

We send the trash
to other cybersites!

You know, spread
the trash around.

But Didge, that'll just give
the problem to someone else.

We can't do that either.

Guys!

Check this out.

Not everything here is trash.

I bet somebody could
use this again.

In fact, there's probably
more stuff like this in here.

Maybe if we knew what
was in the trash,

we could figure out
how to get rid of it.

Seems to me there'd
be a lot less of it,

if we didn't throw so much
stuff away in the first place.

If you mean reduce the rubbish,
we've already tried that!

In fact, Waldo wrote a
little ditty to remind us

how to do that.

Hit it, Waldo!

Refill your bottles of
water, don't buy them new.

Buy toys made of wood,
for a much longer view.

Take cloth bags to the
market, buy things in bulk.

Use both sides of the
paper, no need to sulk.

If you do all these things,
and remember them true.

The environment
will be grateful.

And thank you, thank you!

Way to go, Waldo!

Awesome!

Yeah!

Hi, guys!

I heard you were here!

Hey, Razz!

Are you here for the Jubilee?

We're here to make sure
there is a Jubilee!

Hey, Matt.

I have a little
problem of my own.

Can I show you something?

Yeah, sure.

Go ahead.

We'll see if we can figure
out what we've got here.

So Waldo asked you to make
a sculpture of the Mayor

for the Jubilee?

What an honor.

Yeah.

She'll be really surprised.

What do you think?

It's not quite done yet.

I've never seen
anything like this.

You don't like it?

No! I mean yes! It's awesome!

But what if the Mayor
doesn't like it?

Are you kidding?

She'll love it!

You really think so?

Do you like it?

Well...yeah.

But it doesn't
matter what I think.

I just don't want
to let Waldo down.

Hey, the only one you'll
let down if you don't finish

it...is you!

You gotta believe
in yourself, Razz.

Once you do that,
you can do anything.

Any progress?

Not much.

We've still got a mountain
of trash to sort through.

We need to know what's here
before we can figure out

how to get rid of it.

We're on a tight
schedule, you know.

Tomorrow's the celebration.

Don't worry, Waldo.

The Cybersquad will figure out
a way to get rid of this stuff.

Right, Matt?

Yeah, sure.

We'll do our best.

I bet you could get rid
of half of this trash

by the end of the day!

Can you really get rid of half?

Sure he can.

Matt's the best!

Uh...I dunno...maybe...

One-half of that pile.

Excellent!

Bet you could get rid of
more - like six-tenths!

Six-tenths.

Even better!

But- Make it seven tenths.

No! Eight- tenths!

Eight-tenths. Check!

Make it nine-tenths!

You can do it.

Right, Matt?

Uhhhhhhh...I'm sure we
can get rid of some of it.

Remember what you told me?

Believe in yourself and
you can do anything.

You meant that, right?

Well, yeah.

Definitely.

I believe the
amount of reduction agreed to

was nine-tenths.

The Mayor will be so relieved.

Thank you!

Nine-tenths?

Are you serious?

That's practically
that entire trash pile!

This doesn't sound good at all.

Uh-oh! That doesn't
sound good either!

OK, let's think.

What do we know?

Not much.

And we don't have much time.

We know that in order to figure
out how to get rid of the

garbage we need to
figure out what's in it.

But how do we analyze a heap of
trash that's too tall to see all

the way to the top?

That's it, Matt!

That's the problem!

That trash heap is too tall!

We need a smaller sample
of trash to analyze.

...Like that!

One truckload of trash!

I'm on it, Earthlies!

Over here!

Trash emergency!

Okay, Deedee, you
heard the boss.

We gotta go in there and
find that box of seeds.

So get goin'.

I'll stand guard.

Waitaminute!

You're the one who put
the box in there - you go!

I'll stand guard.

That was over a year ago!

Doesn't count!

You know the one-year rule.

You want me to tell the
boss you wouldn't go in?

You would do that to your best
friend in all of cyberspace?

Look at the bright side,
Buzzy, there might be

an old donut in there.

He-he-he.

Okay, guys, let's see
what we've got here.

Check out this bookshelf!

A little dusting and it
would be good as new.

Hey, Matt!

Nice pass!

Guess what?

You could definitely
reuse this, too.

Just needs some air.

How about this empty jelly jar?

Can this be used again?

I think it can be recycled.

Don't they crush the
glass and use it into to make

new glass jars and bottles?

Oh yeah...!

Ew!

Not much we can do with this.

Can't reuse
it...can't recycle it.

Reduce...reuse... recycle.

I like it!

But, uh, how do we know what
can be recycled and what can't?

Good question.

Let's Gwiggle it!

Hmmmm...donut.

Yeech!

Not even I'm gonna eat that.

Recyclables include:
clean paper, cardboard...

...and paper food containers,
clean glass bottles and jars,

clean metal and foil and
clean plastic containers.

Cool!

Those things are
all made of materials

that can be used again.

Here's the plan.

We'll make a separate pile of
all the things we can recycle.

How about another pile for
things that can be used

as they are?

Like this boidcage.

Ah excuse me can someone
get me outta here?

Time out, guys!

There's a whole
lot of stuff here.

It's going to be
all over the place.

Thought you could use these!

Hey, Buzzy!

You find the box yet?

Not yet.

Wait!

Ah! I found the boss's
old teddy bear!

You found Mr. Fluffy?

Ohhhh, Deedee!

I think I see the box!

Here's one more for
the reusable stack!

He sh**t...

...he scores!

And here's the last one
for the recyclables!

Good sh*t, Inez!

I guess this isn't
quite reusable, is it?

Not unless you like really
cold, half eaten pizza, ha ha.

Too bad.

It even had pepperoni.

Into the bin of stuff we can't
figure out what to do with.

Bullseye!

We can't recycle or reuse
a broken brick either.

OK, the sample pile
is separated...

and we've got ten
full bins of stuff.

So what do we know?

Well...four out of ten
bins are filled with things

that can be reused.

So we can take four tenths of
the trash to a thrift store

or a charity to be
cleaned up and resold.

Or even given away.

And look!

Three tenths of our sample
pile can be recycled and made

into something else to use.

But we still got these three
bins of trash we don't know

how to get rid of.

Hmm, that's a problem.

We can make use of
seven-tenths of this stuff,

but there's still
three-tenths left.

Did I hear seven-tenths?

You did.

Based on what we did here...

We're pretty sure we can get rid
of seven-tenths of that trash.

But you promised to reduce
the trash pile by nine-tenths?

Don't worry, Waldo.

Matt won't let the Mayor down.

You're not giving
up, are you, Matt?

No!

We'll figure out what to
do with the rest of it.

Somehow...

Right, guys?

Absolutely.

The Jubilee is on!

Count on it.

Good!

But remember -the
Jubilee is tomorrow.

Wait! Stop!

Oh, dear!

What's going to happen to my
beautiful, perfect cybersite?

We're done for!

Da-da-da-Daaa!

We got the seeds!

Yes, yes!

My glorious SEEDS!

I can almost see my army
of monster plants now!

WHAT?

These aren't my seeds,
you duncebuckets!

You brought me the wrong box!

This is my wig gel!

Guess I'll have to do this
job myself...as usual!

I can't take this anymore!

I don't care what you
do with the trash!

Just haul it away!

The Mayor's right!

Get rid of it!

But is that really the best way?

I mean, we can't just dump all
this trash into cyberspace

for someone else to clean-up.

Good point!

No, we can't do that!

Absolutely not!

We have to take care
of it right now!

My thoughts exactly!

Whatever you do...hurry!

Yes. Hurry!

Sorry, Matt.

I didn't mean to put you
on the spot like this.

Like I said, Razz.

You can do anything
you set your mind to.

We'll find a way to do this.

Look, we're really close.

We already know how to
get rid of the trash we can

reuse and recycle.

The problem is the three-tenths
of the trash that's left over!

Yeah!

The stinky stuff!

The trash that's left smells
for a reason, you know.

Yeah!

'Cause it stinks!

You know why it smells?

Because it's
already decomposing.

Composing?

What does trash have
to do with music?

No, Didge, not composing...

DEcomposing!

Garbage smells because
it's starting to rot.

Ew!

That's disgusting!

Actually, that's a good thing.

Come with me, I have an idea
to help you get rid of the last

three-tenths of the trash.

At least some of it.

It's called composting.

All these leftovers
are broken down over time

and used as fertilizer.

Hey! That doesn't stink.

Give it time.
It will smell a bit.

Now they go on the compost pile.

Can you use old
leaves and grass, too?

Sure.

That stuff makes
perfect compost.

[SPT! SPT! ]

Sorry.

And this is what all those
leftovers and leaves turn into.

Nice, rich soil!

How long does it take
to get like that?

Anywhere from six
months to two years.

But when it's done...

Your compost goes back into
the earth to help grow the next

generation of flowers and food.

Cool!

It's kinda like recycling
- only using Mother Nature!

Lower, Buzzy...lower...a
little lower...

[Ahhhhh]

Too low.

Oh, dear...what a mess!

That's the way it is with trash.

It's usually messy.

Yuck!

Someone didn't finish
their sandwich.

The good news is, we can
gather up the compostables

at home instead of throwing
them in the garbage.

This is the last of it!

Toss 'em in!

Great!

That gives us two bins
of compostable trash.

What about this?

Not much you can do with that.

Back with the leftovers you go!

Cool!

Not many leftovers left over.

Done!

Sample trash analyzed.

Ten bins full!

Let's see what we got, Matty!

Four tenths of the
trash can be reused.

Four tenths reusable.

Check!

Three tenths can be recylced.

Three tenths recycled.

Check!

Two tenths can be composted.

Two tenths composted.

Check!

One tenth is leftovers.

One tenth leftovers.

That's four ...plus
three...plus two...

that's nine-tenths!

You did it, Matt!

Nine-tenths!

I knew you'd come through!

Thanks, Razz.

Ech-ech-em!

You guys, too.

Good job!

Thanks.

And we found out only one tenth
of the trash Perfectamundians

throw away really needs
to be thrown away!

That's all well and good, but
how do you expect to divide up

all of this by tomorrow?

We need a small army!

No problem!

What if they clear away all
this trash before the boss

finds his seeds?

Hey, boss!

You better speed it up!

Uh!

Mr. Fluffy!

Hello, Mr. Fluffy.. ahhh.

Got it!

[Cheering, yhea! ! ! ]

My seeds!

Well, guys.

It looks like we found something
else for the compost heap!

Compost?

What!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Oh no...!!

Whhhhhhhaaaaaa.....

Boss! Boss! Wait for us!

I want to thank all of you for
coming on this special day.

And a special
thanks to the Cybersquad

for making it possible.

We couldn't have done
it without your help!

I think Razz has a
surprise for you, Mayor.

Thank you for being the
Founder of Perfectomundo.

Oh, Razz.

It's beautiful!

I love it!

One last thing to
remember, guys.

All trash is not trash!

To keep Perfectamundo 'perfect,'
practice the three R's:

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

Oh, and don't
forget composting!

Man, he's good!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Stay right where you are!
It's Cyberchase For Real!

I knew I shouldn't
have hired him.

You're late.

What?

You're late!

Oh...

Your assignment is to
clean out this bin.

I don't want to.

You promised I wouldn't
regret it if I hired you.

Why can't you
give me an assignment

that uses one of my talents?

Let's just dump
this in the trash.

No! We should put as little
in the trash as possible.

Why?

Well, some things can be reused.

Others can be recycled.

Some things can be composted.

And the rest ends
up in the landfill,

where it gets buried
in the ground.

Why don't we make the
kids deal with this?

You can't let the campers
do your dirty work!

It will be a great way
to teach them how to deal

with trash responsibly.

Actually, you might
be onto something.

We could turn this into a game!

I love games.

Winning is one of my talents.

We're gonna play a game
called "Trash Dash."

Ok, the goal of the game is to
sort these things into the right

bins: landfill, recycle,
compost, and reuse.

There are different challenges
for reaching each bin.

Since landfill is the
closest and the easiest,

it earns the fewest points.

The reuse challenge
is the hardest,

so those things earn
the most points.

After everything's been
sorted, the team with

the most points wins!

What team am I on?

This is a game for campers.

But I want to play.

If you play, the
teams will be uneven.

But if you're on one team
and I'm on the other,

the teams will be even!

Please, please, please.

Most of the time when you
play, you're not a good sport.

I promise I'll behave.

Game on!

Yay!

On your marks, get set, go!

CJ, CJ, CJ, CJ, CJ!

Recycle!

CJ, CJ, CJ, CJ, CJ!

Alex, Alex, Alex!

Come on Ariana, you got this!

Compost!

Reuse!

Isabella, Isabella, Isabella!

Zachary, Zachary, Zachary!

Winslow, Winslow!

Zachary, Zachary!

This is taking too long!

Reuse!

Nope.

Out of my way, come on, come on!

You're going to make us lose!

Alright kids, take a look.

This is what a winner
looks like, alright?

That's cheating!

We won!

You don't know that yet.

We have to add up the points.

You put everything
in the landfill bin?

So?

These are the only things that
should end up in the landfill;

everything else can get
recycled, reused or composted.

So that means you don't get
points for any of these.

Fifty-five.

We got two hundred
and eighty-five.

And that beats fifty-five.

Well, you guys cheated!

We did not.

Plastic bags in the reuse?

They should be in
the landfill bin!

Many plastic bags do
end up in the landfill.

That's the big problem; but some
grocery stores are collecting

them for recycling, and
some people are reusing them

to carry things.

I know another really
cool way to reuse them.

I don't care.

Check this out.

Ooooh, ahhhh!

I wish I knew how to do that!

Actually, that is pretty cool.

I'm just reusing
one of my talents.
