Arnold thanks Wanda and Murph dedicates a song to recycling as the class sings along with her. Wanda also thanks Arnold for the rock and offers him plastic pellets as a gift. The rest of the class, along with Murph, make it on the train with Arnold and had decided not to go to The Nutcracker. Wanda is also offered her bag back and notices a rock given to her as a gift by Arnold. Arnold says he has to take care of his sick grandmother and won't be able to make it to the The Nutcracker with the rest of the class. So Wanda helps Murph make new toy soldiers and everyone gets one each. Arnold then suggests that the plastic pellets should be used to make new toy soldiers. Everything is now back to where it was before, and the recycling plant is back. Frizzle tweaks The Magic School Bus so it could undo what Wanda has wished. She also learns that recycling something to make something old or new saves the natural resources. They finally fix The Magic School Bus and Wanda then learns that certain materials made out of glass, plastic, and aluminum wouldn't be made without recycling, being the third reason why recycling is important. The class collaborates and melts the material in Ms. Wanda then figures out that it takes glass, aluminum, and plastic to rebuild the bus and Murph tells the class to melt the bottles to make new things out of old material, similar to how the plastic melted in the recycling plant. Ralphie learns that the bottles are made of glass like The Magic School Bus' windows, Dorothy Ann learns that the cans are aluminum like The Magic School Bus' whole structure, and Phoebe finds that the green bottles are plastic like everything else inside The Magic School Bus. The class asks what The Magic School Bus has to do with the junk (as well as the swing sets and benches), and they try to figure out how to rebuild the bus into the junk it transformed into. Wanda is now contrite of what she has done. When Wanda laments her wish and asks why she ever contemplated getting rid of recycling was such a good idea, she inadvertently sets off The Magic School Bus and it transforms into junk. Wanda decides to just forget about her soldier and apologizes for messing up the town. Tim also tells Wanda that more garbage is the second reason why recycling is vital. The Magic School Bus stops to the park and to the class' surprise, the playground material turns into tin cans and cartons.Īs The Magic School Bus approaches the school, it brings a pile of trash to the front of the school. The recycle bins also disappear and more garbage has to go back to the city dump, which can only accommodate so much garbage. Wanda, however, is relieved that her favorite soldier didn't get cut into pellets. Since newspapers have to be made with wood, all the trees have been cut down, which Phoebe tells Wanda is the first reason recycling is good. Frizzle drives The Magic School Bus, The Magic School Bus gets rid of the trees and newspapers. Frizzle contemplates Wanda's wish, Murph follows along and Liz activates the trash button, which causes the recycle center to transform into a pile of trash. In her anger, Wanda wishes recycling had never been invented. She snaps at her, "Okay, Phoebe, name three," which she can't. She is seen holding plastic pellets of her soldier and yells at Arnold, saying she didn't blame him but his "crummy idea." Phoebe tries smooth things over and suggests a sullen Wanda think of the good things recycling does. Wanda is then forced to watch in horror as her soldier ends up getting compacted along with the rest of the junk. Wanda tries to warn Murph, but the latter can't hear her due to having on headphones. During the chaos of the sorting, Arnold accidentally throws in Wanda's soldier, which she witnesses getting recycled. Frizzle introduces the class to her cousin and the class begins sorting. Frizzle takes the class to the recycling center, which her cousin, Katrina Eloise "Murph" Murphy, owns and runs. Frizzle then comes around and assists the class with their recycling spree. She plans to give her favorite toy soldier. Wanda isn't as enthusiastic, wanting to hurry so she can go see The Nutcracker, which is offering free entry if a toy to be donated is brought. The last day of school before winter break is spent sorting recycling items to send to the recycling center, the recycling being Arnold's idea.
