One sunny morning, as Ellie was walking to school, she noticed something that made her heart sink. The streets were littered with plastic bags, bottles, and wrappers. It made her sad to see how much waste was piling up. "There must be a better way," she thought to herself.

Determined to make a difference, Ellie studied hard in school. She learned all about materials and how they could be used to create packaging. She learned about recycling and composting, and she discovered the wonders of biodegradable materials. But most importantly, she learned about sustainability—the idea that we should use resources wisely so that future generations can enjoy them too.

Armed with her knowledge and fueled by her passion, Ellie set out to change the world, one package at a time. She joined a team of like-minded engineers who shared her vision of a greener, cleaner planet. Do you want to join her?

Together, they brainstormed ideas and experimented with new materials. They designed packages that were not only beautiful and functional but also eco-friendly. They used recycled materials whenever they could and made sure their packages could be easily recycled or composted after use.

One day, Ellie and her team came up with their greatest invention yet—a packaging material made from CO2 and plants! It performed just like plastic, but it was both recyclable and dissolved in the ocean. What do you think they should name it?

What do you think the new material should be called? Go ahead and write down your idea and draw what you think it should look like!

The news spread fast! With ______________ (go ahead and write the name you came up with!), there would be no more plastic pollution clogging up our oceans and landfills. Instead, there would be fields of flowers blooming where once there were mountains of trash.

Ellie's invention was a huge success, and soon, companies all over the world were using __________________ (write in the name again!) for their products. People everywhere cheered for Ellie and her team (that’s you!), thanking them for making the world a better place.

As the years passed by, Ellie saw her dreams she had as a child were coming to be a reality! She could see cleaner streets and brighter skies!

And so, you helped Ellie's dream came true! You and Ellie became heroes, not just to the Earth, but to all the creatures who called it home. And as you go out into the world you had helped to save, just know with a little ingenuity and a lot of heart, anything is possible for a packaging engineer!

Maybe you want to be like Ellie and become a packaging engineer when you get older! They get to change the world!

We need more people like you who want to help make a bright future as a packaging engineer. A future that's amazing for people, products, and our planet.
