Here’s the full script as written, though it may have been modified in performance or in editing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francesca: As president of the youth group, I’ve called this meeting to figure out what’s going on with Ecojustice Avenger and Trashman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg: At first I thought Ecojustice Avenger was Priscilla. Then I thought Ecojustice Avenger was Francesca. Then I thought Ecojustice Avenger was Bruce. I’m so confused!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah: What about Trashman? Once it looked like Amy was Trashman, and another time it looked like Bruce was Trashman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francesca: I’ve also asked Miles’ and Ella’s mom to join us, since she seems to have the superpower of calling Ecojustice Avenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather: All I do is say “Ecojustice Avenger, we need you,” and they show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella: Guys, I think I know what’s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah: What? Tell us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella: Anybody can be Trashman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John: But how is that possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella: Well, anyone can do things that harm the environment, and harm other humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather: You’re right. I do my best to help the environment, but I also know that white people use up more natural resources on average than people of color. Sometimes I look like Trashman to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John: And if you look at the history of the United States, poor people are more likely to suffer from environmental problems than middle class people like me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah: I guess it doesn’t take much to turn someone into Trashman. Like this. Greg, here’s some trash! [throws crumpled paper]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg [starts acting like Trashman]: Trash? Trash! I love trash!\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John: No! Stop it! You are NOT Trashman!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg [calming down again]: I’m not Trashman? You’re right, I’m not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella: Also, anyone can be Ecojustice Avenger. You don’t even need a costume. Go ahead, mom, do your stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heather: Ecojustice Avenger, where are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah [striking an Ecojustice Avenger pose]: Here I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francesca [striking an Ecojustice Avenger pose]: Here I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg [striking an Ecojustice Avenger pose]: Here I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John [striking an Ecojustice Avenger pose]: Here I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella: See what I mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan: Wait, what’s going on? Did I miss something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg: Well, anyone can be Ecojustice Avenger — BUT you have to be paying attention to what’s going on around you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
