Synopsis
{{spoiler}}
When Bart gets a job as a menu boy for a
Thailand Thai restaurant named You Thai Now, the menus he delivers are paper litter scattered about
Springfield (The Simpsons) Springfield. Lisa is scared that the paper is a waste of trees. She meets Jesse Grass, the hunky and non-violent leader of a
radical environmentalism radical environmentalist protest group named
Earth First! Dirt First, and joins the group after meeting him at a
Krusty the Klown Krusty Burger, where he was arrested for protesting. When Springfield's oldest
redwood tree is about to be cut down, she camps in the tree to prevent it being cut down. However, she leaves the tree for a night, and the tree is struck down by
lightning overnight.
After the tree is struck by lightning, everyone in Springfield thinks Lisa died in the storm. The Rich Texan makes an offer at first by making a forest on the site of the tree, but he changes his mind and offers to build an
amusement park, "Lisa Land". Fortunately, Lisa comes to the site, and protests the park. The tree expected to be used as the sign for Lisa Land is chopped and heads for Springfield's business district, but eventually goes on a cross-country journey out to the sea. Although Jesse is in jail again, he has apparently not stopped his crusade for the environment.
Trivia
*Jesse Grass mentions the
Burning Man Burning Man Festival at an environmentalist meeting to save the redwood tree, when he asks "anyone to camp in the tree, even during Burning Man".
