In this short story, the narrator is describing each planet in the universe as a character. Each planet orbits in harmony. All the other planets discussed the health of their brother, Earth. One of the planets say that Earth is in complete environmental disharmony and they must do something about it. Another one says that they cannot do anything to help because it will disturb the planet's harmony. Uranus said that he "faithfully believes that we are all connected, and our existence has only significance if we help each other, and he was able to travel to the Third Knight Earth in a mission to save the planet" Mercury replied saying that beings "who have the desire to do something is also their need to manifest their higher and true self. We admire beings that possess these qualities and we believe we have to serve them because they are the ones who transform and make the greatest changes for the benefit of our universe." So, Uranus's spirit was sent to Earth where a man named Frederic presented the importance of the green plan to many citizens. The citizens were touched after listening to Frederic's speech.
It's really cool how the author made each planet a character. It puts the idea that everything we do effects everything- not only in our world- but in the universe. We could do so much to help our environment... but we don't. Why don't we?... I think we're too lazy. We have formed habits and if we were to change everything... it would take a lot of time and effort. But... if one person is dedicated enough to their beleifs, then it is possible for THAT person to make a difference... just like Uranus and Frederic did.
