It's a fabulous sunny Sunday, but Minion Bob's been tirelessly looking for his brothers, Kevin and Stuart. "I wonder where could they be?". He started climbing from one tree after the other, but he failed to find them. He saw those tangy but scrumptious blueberries scattered on the ground and began wolfing them down. "Delish!" After a few minutes, he's stuffed!

While he's cleaning himself, he noticed a thick smoke billowing at the corner of a nearby cave. The smoke engulfed the entire island in no time. "What the heck! It smells awful, eh!". He saw a group of people burning those piles of garbage and dead trees.

Bob ran quickly away from the fumes before he could get choked to death. He's quite furious and disappointed the way those blokes had acted on the matter. "I wish I could burn their heads to a toast", he murmured angrily. He could still vividly remember the fateful day of the previous planet he'd been to. "Planet Booboo, oh it disappeared as it was swallowed by a fireball- a zero matter that's responsible for wiping out the planet's entire population". "Luckily, my kin and I were able to escape ahead of time". It is believed severe pollution and global warming have caused its disappearance.

Could pollution be the reason why this earth is getting warmer? There's too much air pollution nowadays because of fumes emitted by vehicles; smoking, garbage-burning and factory wastes. Does living here on earth becoming unbearable? Furthermore, Bob understood that air pollution is one of the leading causes of respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and the dreadful - lung cancer which affect hundreds of millions of people around the globe.

Bob felt sleepy so he lied down on a hammock and when he woke up, the sky had turned dark blue. "I think it's going to rain any moment now", he predicted. The poor minion hid in a vacant nipa hut and started figuring out how on earth he could find his bros. He got startled by a thunderstorm. "What a weird weather!". "Why it's becoming changeable?", he asked himself. The downpour lasted for hours.

He couldn't go out and search for his kin because there's flood everywhere. "Is this the effect of climate change?". He also couldn't help thinking of possible scenarios that might happen in the future. "What would happen to humans if the atmosphere becomes totally polluted in the future?". "Could you imagine buying a tank of clean air for your own crib?"."Oh, how about if earth is filled with water". Seventy percent of the earth is composed of water, right?". He realized mother nature will continue to evolve for thousands of years, but all living creatures might struggle to live with its natural disasters. Earth will keep on going unless it disappears too.

"It's no fun hanging out here anymore". "Shall I look for a better place again?", he quietly whispered. "I hope it's never too late for people to change its nasty ways of treating nature for the sake of the next generation".

"I'm feeling potty thinking all of these things now". "I'm also itching to see my bros and continue the real adventure that I'm wishing for". It's getting late and Bob was really tired. Moreover, the floods haven't subsided yet. He went back to his hammock and tried to get more sleep.

Too bad he didn't notice Stuart was waving at him across the river. When would they finally meet up? Stay tuned...
