Ein junges Mädchen und ihre Omi haben eine besondere Verbindung, die in der Umgebung von Omi´s magischem Garten aufblüht. Dann eines Tages, bemerkt das Mädchen viele Unkräuter im Garten. Sie entdeckt bald, dass ihre geliebte Omi die Alzheimer-Krankheit hat; eine Krankheit, bei der sich ungesunde Wucherungen auf das Gehirn ablagern, und dadurch das Denken und Handeln beeinflussen, ähnlich wie Unkraut das Wachsen der Blumen behindert.

Climate change represents a "tragedy of the commons" on a global scale, requiring the cooperation of nations that do not necessarily put the Earth's well-being above their own national interests. And yet international efforts to address global warming have met with some success; the Kyoto Protocol, in which industrialized countries committed to reducing their collective emissions, took effect in 2005 (although without the participation of the United States).
