    The Amazing Earth E6 - Taking Action

    The Amazing Earth is drawing to an end... or is it? Our companions look back on what they achieved and try to find meaning in their adventure. Greta congratulates them on their success, but the four amigos don’t feel quite ready to move on from their saga... Their commitment is stronger than ever!Five months later, we find them in studio at Tunebird Productions. Each has continued to be involved in individual and collective actions for the environment: active mobility, community initiatives, community gardens, sharing reliable information, etc. Their actions are so inspiring that Greta Tunebird invites them to continue The Amazing Earth adventure well beyond the conclusion of the program! Akio, Billie, Slinky and Paola thus become spokespersons and agents of change who motivate the public. A new adventure beckons!

    The Amazing Earth E5 - Feeling one's Feelings

    The day after the storm, our three friends are joined by Slinky. The mood on the island has soured... Everyone is feeling the effects of the storm. Suddenly, cries echo throughout the pavilion, and the foursome run toward the sound to find... Greta Tunebird, in the grips of a rollercoaster emotional weather bomb! Each in turn, the participants express their feelings, and along the way they discover a new term: eco-emotions. Together (and with invaluable assistance from the robot voice), the small group explores eco-emotions, how to understand them, and most of all, how to soften them when the emotional weather wreaks havoc!

    The Amazing Earth E4 - Helping Each Other

    Paola, Akio and Billie face a daunting challenge when a storm batters Terracosti. After communications with Tunebird Productions are cut off, the three participants must enact strategies for dealing with this extreme weather event. Thanks to the P.A.P.A method invented by Paola, they pluck up their courage, protect their garden and look after one another. Surprise, there’s a knock on the door! A drenched and scared Slinky appears on their doorstep. Should they help him, in spite of their differences? Can they trust him? Fortunately, our three empathetic friends decide to open their door (and their hearts) to the YouTuber, thus saving him from the storm. The following day, the small group takes stock of the strategies that worked, what they learned, and the benefits of sticking together in solidarity.

    The Amazing Earth E3 - Staying Informed

    In this episode, Billie, Paola and Akio are faced with a complex reality: fake news on the Internet. After watching a video shared by Slinky, our three friends are challenged to come up with a way of telling the difference between what's real and what's fake.How do we know if a story is true? Is it normal to have doubts? Are there signs that can put us on the right track? Together, our three friends develop their detective reflexes, and draw up a list of “red flags” to distinguish fact from opinion, and real news from sensationalistic stories. All the while, of course, keeping an eye on Slinky...

    The episode begins with the arrival of our three friends at the ultra-modern pavilion on Terracosti Island: Akio the former professional athlete, Paola the solitary scientist, and Billie the uniquely talented singer. The small group is greeted by Greta Tunebird, the eccentric scientist in charge of this ecological reality show.Their first challenge: Feed themselves by their own means! Akio suggests starting a rooftop garden to be self-sufficient in food. Paola has brought seeds and shares her knowledge of beneficial associations between plants (companion planting) and pollinators. In a magical moment, Billie makes the plants grow through song, enabling the group to quickly harvest vegetables. Meanwhile, a mysterious character named Slinky prowls the island, voicing his doubts about the “Amazing Earth” project, which he describes as a conspiracy.
