Synopsis

Bright Eyes runs into the ice cream shop where the other Tales ponies are having Double Dip Delights, proclaiming the Pony Bend of Big Pony River has been polluted by garbage. Melody is unconcerned, brushing off Bright Eyes' concerns. Bright Eyes goes on to explain the types of damage that could result from unchecked pollution. The ponies decide to investigate who is dumping into Big Pony River. Bright Eyes goes to print up posters to alert the other pony residents of what is going on. Bon Bon gets a Triple Dip Double Fudge Banana Split to go.

Bon Bon and Clover are sitting under a tree, where Bon Bon has finished her ice cream. She tosses the empty tray into the river, and Clover chastises her. Bon Bon brushes off Clover's reprimand saying its only one little piece, and they have a real culprit to catch as the cup floats down the river. Clover points out the nearby ice cream factory. As the ponies duck under the gate and argue if the ice cream factory could be the polluter, a truck drives down the road towards them. They hide behind a dirt pile as it goes by, and climb in the back as the truck stops at the gate. Bon Bon investigates the barrels inside, which turn out to be only ice cream. The truck stops at the ice cream shop, where the driver asks the two ponies in the back what they are doing. Bon Bon says they are on a mission, but the driver doesn't believe them, escorting the two ponies off the truck.

A green pony with a recycling symbol denies her theory, pointing at the sign on the dock which says recycling plant.

Melody and Starlight are walking beside the river, where they have found nothing noteworthy. Melody pauses to look at her new CD album, throwing the packaging into the river. Starlight points out her littering, but Melody says it's no big deal. They give up and head back to the ice cream shop.

A Litte Bit of Litter

A little bit of litter,
A little bit of litter,

Does a lot of harm,
Does a lot of harm,

When you see folks littering,
When you see folks littering,

Raise the alarm!
Raise the alarm!

Don't be careless, don't be rash,
Oooh oooh,

Think before you toss that trash
Oooh oooh,

Recycle those papers and cans, keep our world spic and span!"

So many people litter,
So many people litter,

And they just don't care,
And they just don't care,

Ruin our drinking water
Ruin our drinking water

Contaminate the air!
Contaminate the air!

If we all pitch in, and do our share,
We'll find a lot less litter, here and everywhere
We'll find a lot less litter, here and everywhere
heeere!

We'll find a lot less litter, here and everywhere (repeats)
