• Everyone can make a difference

In this story, Spid is horrified to find litter has been thrown into his garden. But he soon realises that littering and rubbish aren’t just a problem for him – they’re a problem for the whole planet. So Spid decides he must do something but what …? He needs an idea. A really good idea. And he needs one now …

How does this help fuel a ‘growth mindset’?
