She says it's a carbon dioxide alarm.

Blossom claims using these electronics

while I'm singing is contributing

is the best part of the show, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever.

Of course, Ruff.

Well, you know what?

Singing isn't easy.

In fact, it's challenging.

In fact, it's challenge number one.

There we go, and...[clicking]

Okay, it's not coming on. Blossom!

Why'd you unplug that?

Fine, okay. Then here's another way to put it.

Challenge number two!

This is Ethan.

He's an energy expert who's going to help

All right, while they're out, we need to work on that.

Here comes Noel and Harsha.

Hi, are you Bob?I certainly am.

Are you guys singers?

No. No.

Well, guess what today's challenge is.

Singing? Singing?

Learning how to sing.

Uh-oh. We have a couple

of uncomfortable FETCHers. Let's go.

BOTH [harmonizing]: ♪ Why did you turn away?

♪ Who are you?

Hi. Hi.

I'm Anne.I'm Noel.

This is Jeff.How're you doing?

Well, we'll look forward

to working with you a little bit today,

and see if we can help you

improve your singing a little bit.

Hi, are you Ethan?Hey.

Yes, I am. Ruff sent me over.

So, what we want to do is help him

cut his electricity usage.

Now, do you know where carbon dioxide comes from?

Well, I know plants breathe it in,

and we breathe it out.We breathe it out.

ETHAN: It also comes from making electricity,

because you're burning fuel.

You're burning coal and oil

back at the electricity plant to make electricity.

Now, when you burn oil and coal,

you release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Here's the Earth, and you've got an atmosphere

of air all the way around the planet.

The sun comes in through the atmosphere,

hits the surface of the planet

and tries to bounce back out into space.

Carbon dioxide behaves like a blanket.

It keeps some of that heat in there.

Some of the heat is good.

But too much heat is bad, 'cause what happens?

Global warming.Global warming.

That's where Ruff's problem is,

'cause he's using so much electricity...

SAM: It's putting too much carbon dioxide out.

He's putting more carbon dioxide in the air,

and that's trapping more heat.

RUFF: Yeah, but I've got all these chores to do.

So you got a list of things that we're supposed to do today?

RUFF: Okay, here's everything I need to do today:

I've got to get rid of the leaves,

turn on all the lights, make guacamole,

clean up all the lentils I spilled,

play my drum machine for my promo,

wash and dry all my dirty socks

and dry my wet fur.

I'm going to need power.

All right, they're starting with chore number one:

Hi, there.We're going to help Ruff

reduce his electric consumption

by measuring how much energy it takes

to do all the chores around the house.

We're going to take some measurements.

This is a watt meter,

and we're going to find out how much power

your leaf blower uses.What's a watt?

A "watt" is a measure of how much electricity is used.

We plug this into the wire and it'll tell us

how much juice is going to the leaf blower.

That's a lot of electricity, isn't it?

Yeah, I think so.Mm-hmm.

Ruff, I don't think you're going to be happy.

Don't I know it. I got Blossom breathing down my neck

and a big focus group coming.

How long does it take you to run

the leaf blower and clean up your yard?About a half-hour.

Okay, so we're going to take those watts,

multiply by ., 'cause it's half an hour,

and that tells us how many watt-hours we use.

Okay, , watts

times . hours-- nicely done, Blossom-- equals...

watt-hours?![bell dinging]

That's how much energy the leaf blower uses?!

Thunderation!

So you've never done any singing before?

Nope. No?

I just want to check what your range is, okay?

[playing note]

♪ Ah...

♪ Ah...

I can't go that high.

Stay with it, Harsha, that was good.

I don't really know what I'm supposed

to be doing. Oh, we're just trying

to warm up your voice.

Just hit this note for me.

BOTH: ♪ Ah...

[Ruff howling]

I'm sorry, that sounded like howling.

♪ Ah...

Try that.

♪ Ah...

Very good, Noel.

♪ Ah-ah-ah...

Very good-- so now we worked

a little bit in the low range,

and the sliding makes your vocal cords

just warm up a little bit, because your vocal cords,

which are located right here...

they are essentially muscles

that are shaped like rubber bands,

and when you gently stretch them by doing a slide,

it makes them become longer and thinner

for the higher notes

and shorter and wider for the lower notes.

I'm going to ask you to try to hit a target with your voice.

And I just happen to have this little piece of paper...

What? ...with my rendition of Ruff.

Doesn't look anything like me. Sorry, Ruff.

I feel like I can't sing louder when I

go up to the high notes.

There are different parts of your voice

that are called registers, and so far,

we've done some work in your chest voice register,

which feels a little bit

fuller and louder, but I'm going to ask you

to go into a lighter quality.

Just try to let your voice go up there.

♪ Ah-ah-ah...

Yeah, open your mouth.

♪ Ah-ah-ah...

Beautiful-- now,

you did something different there.

I kept my mouth open. Good.

And the sound came out much fuller.

Ruff, this is hard.

Harder than it looks.

Come on, Noel, open up your mouth

and project your voice towards the target.

This time, we're going to measure this lamp.

All right, chore number two: turn on all the lights.

So we take the watt meter and we put it in the wall.

Now we take the lamp, and we plug it in the socket.

Ah! Right in my eye, Murray.

watts.

Now, how many hours a day do you use this lamp?Three hours.

And on to chore number three:

make some guacamole for my guests.

See, I told you you'd need avocados.

So I would say the average is around, like, .

All right, they used the blender for two minutes.

Blossom says that's about . hours, so...

...to make guacamole.

You have potential to sing, whether you know it or not.

Even if a note doesn't come out

right away, it's there; it's just sleeping.

Well, wake it up, we have a challenge.

♪ Ah...

♪ Ah...

That's pretty good.

Ruff, this is really, really, really hard.

Blossom thinks you sound

much better than me already.

Thank you, Blossom.

Why don't we go next door,

and we'll do a group thing.

I have the perfect song for these two.

Maybe I can sing with Blossom.

Blossom, you down for a jam?

No? All right.

♪ Me, may, mow, mo, moo. ♪ Good.

Harsha.

Come on over to the piano,

girls, take a look at this music.

Has a very small range,

and it's fun.

There's only two parts to the song:

the verse and the chorus.

I'm going to teach you the melody.

One, two, sing.

Hey! ♪ Living your life in tropic style ♪

Yeah! ♪ Lazing around all through the day ♪

Whoo! ♪ Waving at boats out on the bay. ♪

You both are singing in tune.

Let's try the chorus, which is very similar.

♪ Coconut tree, so fine and tall ♪

♪ Coconut tree, that's what I'd be ♪ Oh, they're sounding so good!

♪ If I could have one wish for me ♪ This is a really good song.

♪ Coconut tree...

Oh, they stopped, okay.

Hey, Blossom, do we have entertainment for tonight?

Because I think the girls would be great.

SAM: So, looks like you spilled some lentils.

Yeah, and I'm going to need power for chore number four:

watts! Yikes!

Took them nine minutes.

Nine minutes is . hours.

SAM: And then, run drum machine.

Yeah, chore number five: I got to play drums for my promo.

So it's like two watts.

And I'm going to play those drums for one hour, so...

SAM: Wash and dry pairs of socks.

On to chore number six.

We can do the washer.

First, I'll run the washer for minutes.

That's . hours.

And then we can do the dryer separately.

Oh, same numbers for the dryer.

Good.

Last chore on the list:

Sammy, this is my mom and my sister, Charlotte.

How long does it take you to blow-dry your hair?

Around minutes.

Whoa, the hair dryer has the same numbers

♪ You got points, which is... okay. ♪

All right, then let's check back in at Sam's house

with Sam and Sammy.

How you doing?

Hey, guys, how you making out so far?Pretty good.

What are you listening to?

This is my solar powered radio.

How does it work?Well, it takes light from the sun,

it hits this little solar panel,

which turns it into electricity,

and that allows me to listen to the radio.

I'm also using a solar panel over here to run my fan,

so I can stay cool on a nice, hot day like this.

What would happen if you blocked it?

Block the sun hitting the solar panel,

and watch what happens to the fan.

Look at that.

SAMMY: Oh, it's slowing down.

You're stopping it,

'cause you k*lled all the light

going to the solar panel.

And this is one kind of renewable energy,

because the sun's up every day,

and it doesn't make any carbon dioxide at all,

which is really going to help Ruff out a lot.

Oh, yeah, definitely.Sure is.

So you guys going to work on your chart?

Yeah, we're going to go finish it up.

I get it.

When you make electricity from the sun,

you don't burn coal or oil, which do release carbon dioxide,

and because the sun is always there,

it's called renewable.

Blossom, note to Henry:

we need solar panels, stat.

Most important thing is to have fun,

and you're doing that.

[humming]

Guess what-- I'd like to invite you

to a special concert this afternoon.

It's right around the corner.

I hope Ruff isn't singing.

You're going to regret that comment in about two minutes.

Ruff, you better not be performing.

Oh, my![Ruff laughing]

What do you think, girls?

HARSHA: I look really bad! I look so bad.

NOEL: We've only practiced

for, like, less than a day.

Less than a day, and look, you have your own poster.

They're going to be performing live in FETCH! Star.

And I've got some surprise judges lined up

to decide if the girls are good enough

to perform at the promo party tonight.

[laughing]

Careful, that belongs to Barbra Streisand.

You look like a person

from, like, the Colonial times.

You look like a brown poodle.

Bet Charlene would look good in that.

[giggling]

So the grand total is

, watt-hours.

, watt-hours?!

Blossom says using that much energy

releases almost two pounds of carbon dioxide

into the atmosphere.

Man, imagine how much CO would be around

if everybody used this much electricity.

I've got to do something about this.

Give these guys a call.

Hey, got a total, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, guys.

Hi, Ruff.

Well, now that you figured out

how much electricity all these

chores use, I want you to find a more energy-efficient way

to get everything done.

Now, energy-efficient means

getting the same amount of work done

but using less energy.

This is comingAre you serious?

straight from Blossom, don't blame the messenger.

See you back at Studio G, Ruff. Bye, Ruff!

I'll see you girls back at Studio G.

Great job!

Okay, let's see if Sammy

and Sam have found some ways to do my chores

without using much electricity.

Little bit more energy efficient, Ruff,

but it takes a lot more time.

Look at that-- the leaf blower used watt-hours.

Now the kids are using zero watt-hours.

Okay, so, we should put this more efficient bulb in, right?

All right.

Looks like watts.

Wow, that's a lot better. I know.

Wow. So with this

more efficient bulb,

they went from watts to watts.

And you still get the same amount of light.

Mash 'em up.

Ew!

How much energy does it save?

Well, there's no electricity in it.

So %.

So using their hands, disgusting as that is,

saved nine watt-hours.

So for a more efficient way,

use a broom and maybe your hands, too.

Okay, I'll use my hands.

Using a broom saves watt-hours.

Aha!

Real drums instead of a drum machine.

So that didn't require any electrical energy in it.

Yeah. It sounded pretty good.

And now we're going to towel dry your hair.

Towel drying her hair instead of using a hair dryer.

Very clever.

And it saves watt-hours.

All right.

Oh yeah. How are these looking?

And washing and drying the clothes by hand

saves another watt-hours.

That is cool!

Hey, Blossom, without all those appliances running,

it's a lot quieter around here.

♪ Now you can hear my singing better! ♪

SAM: Let's see how we did.

We didn't use any electricity.

You've cut down my electricity usage by , watt-hours.

That means I've used less electricity

from the power plant and that they've had to burn

less coal or oil and produce less CO.

Blossom, these guys are going to help save our planet!

Now as for tonight, Henry said

the solar panels won't get here in time for the party.

So I had Ethan come up with another way

to use renewable energy to power the TV.

Check this out. It is so cool!

Whoa!Ah!

What is that?This is a generator

and this generator's running a battery

which is running the TV.

As long as I pedal,

I keep the battery charged up.

What do you think? You want to try it? Yeah. Yeah!

When you do that,

that's another form of renewable energy.

It's people powered.

Congrats, guys!

Thanks, Ruff. Thank you, Ruff. Now everyone

can watch my promos at the party tonight.
