The Flower Lady – the woke version
Title: “The Sustainable Garden Advocate”
[The scene opens with a bustling city sidewalk. A person, named Alex, approaches a flower stand.]
Alex: [Clears throat] Excuse me, ma’am, do you have a moment to talk about sustainable gardening practices?
Flower Lady: Oh, sure, honey! What can I help you with?
Alex: Well, I’m here to raise awareness about the environmental impact of conventional gardening methods. Did you know that pesticides and chemical fertilizers harm local ecosystems and pollinators like bees?
Flower Lady: [Taken aback] Oh, I never really thought about it that way.
Alex: It’s essential to consider eco-friendly alternatives like composting and natural pest control. By supporting organic and locally grown flowers, we can reduce our carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture.
Flower Lady: Wow, that’s eye-opening. I’ll definitely look into making some changes to my gardening practices.
Alex: That’s fantastic to hear! Every small change we make can have a significant impact on the planet. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for all beings.
[The Flower Lady nods in agreement, and Alex hands her a pamphlet detailing eco-friendly gardening tips. They exchange smiles before Alex continues on their mission to spread awareness about environmental conservation.]
[End of scene.]
