Nelly drifted into a dream where the Pacific whispered like a wounded giant. The waters of British Columbia, once alive with silver salmon and forests of kelp, now looked heavy and green, choking with algae. The fish gasped at the surface, and the tide carried the stench of death.

From the mist rose Saint Lucy of Fátima, her face radiant but grave. “Nelly,” she said softly, “the ocean is sick. Eutrophication is strangling the waters, suffocating the creatures of God’s garden. The high priestess of the sea is fading.”

Nelly felt her heart break as she saw the ocean as a woman, draped in kelp and barnacles, her breath shallow, her body bloated with green scum. She reached out for help, but her fingers slipped through the slime.

Lucy placed a glowing hand on Nelly’s shoulder. “There is still hope. You and Joseph hold it already. Your song can awaken hearts, and your eco-friendly detergent can cleanse what poisons her. Every drop that is pure becomes a prayer for renewal.”

The saint’s voice became a tide: “Build the Zero Waste Reality Show. Let the world see that healing begins with small acts — a bar of soap, a load of laundry, a choice made in love for the earth. Show them the detergent that does not kill, but restores.”

When Nelly awoke, she could still smell the sea. She turned to Joseph and whispered, “We must do it. For British Columbia. For the ocean priestess. For all of us.”

Zero Waste Reality Show – Pilot Episode

Opening Scene
The camera pans across the Pacific coast of British Columbia. The water looks beautiful, but the narrator’s voice cuts in:

“Beneath the waves, the ocean priestess is suffocating. Eutrophication—too much nitrogen, too many chemicals, too much waste—is choking her. But tonight, two unlikely heroes rise to the challenge: Nelly and Joe.”

Cut to Nelly
Nelly stands in her laundry room. A pile of clothes waits beside her. She holds up a bright green plastic jug of conventional detergent.

Nelly (to camera): “This is what’s killing our waters. Phosphates, toxins, perfumes. Every wash is another drop of poison.”

She sets the jug aside and picks up her eco-friendly detergent in a refillable glass jar. She smiles.

Nelly: “But this… this cleans without killing. Every wash is an act of love.”

She pours a scoop into the washer, presses start, and as the machine whirs, she sings a line—her voice flowing like the ocean tide.

Cut to Joe
Joe is in his mother’s kitchen. On the counter sits a bottle of green Palmolive dish soap, half-empty.

Joe (to camera, holding it up): “This is the old way. My mom’s been using this for decades. It smells nice, but the phosphates end up in the ocean. That’s why the kelp forests are dying. That’s why the salmon are choking.”

He takes the Palmolive and gently sets it aside. From a paper bag, he pulls out a refillable glass pump bottle with amber-colored eco-friendly dish soap inside.

Joe: “This is the new way. Plant-based, biodegradable, no poison. Same clean dishes. But the ocean breathes easier.”

He starts washing plates. His mother walks in, curious.

Joe’s Mother: “Where’s my Palmolive?”
Joe (smiling): “Mom, I upgraded you.”

Montage
Quick cuts show Nelly hanging her laundry out in the sun, Joe washing a sink full of dishes, and the waves rolling onto shore. The music swells.

Closing Narration

“This is where it begins. One load of laundry. One sink of dishes. One choice at a time. Joe and Nelly believe the Zero Waste Reality Show can teach the world to save the ocean priestess. But can small choices really change the tide?”

The screen fades to black with the words:

“Episode One: The Tide Begins.”
