The Eco Squashers
Meet the Eco Squashers - the team led by Bill McGreedy who are fighting to take over the world and destroy Terra, Mother Earth. They want all the money and power!
Their moral compass has gone walkies, and they enjoy causing mischief and mayhem to Terra instead. Let’s be honest, they don’t care about the future. Oh no, they are guided by how much money they can have in their bank and how much land they own.
The Squashers are everywhere - on land and sea - and cause plenty of problems. From Ghost Net Gary tangling mammels of the sea in fishing nets, to Single-Use Sally destroying parks and woodlands with her trail of single use items.
They also have a motto which they shout to the Eco Protection Squad and live their lives by. Their motto is “Omnia Mihi” which means “All For Me” in Latin.
Let’s meet the team and find out their special skills!
Bill McGreedy
Position: Money bags
About him: Bill McGreedy is the dosh behind the Eco Squashers. He has SO much money but all he wants to do, is accumulate more and more, by whatever means possible. He often goes out of his way investing in a quick money win rather than working with Terra and finding earth friendly alternatives. As he says ‘My money, my rules”.
Special skills: Bill has money and a lot of hot air but no special skills beyond that (despite what he may try to say).
Single-Use Sally
Position: Team Lead
About her: Sally is a real treat…She pops up every time there is an item that is single-use - this includes plastic, wrappers, bags, cans, foil, paper. Basically anything that is used once and then put in the bin where it can last for over 400 years! Single-Use Sally is usually found helping feed the Toxic Twins and loves winding up the Eco Protection Squad, especially Reusable Ralph and Plastic-Free Pival. She is Bill McGreedy’s right hand help, and his most trusted.
Special skills: Sally can create waste from thin air. A trick she enjoys pulling anytime she can when around the Eco Protection Squad.
The Toxic Twins
Position: Stinky Slimers
About them: Twins Gabbee Garbage and Larree Landfill love litter. They want more and more rubbish to be thrown on the ground so they can grow bigger and slimier, and take over the world. With every item of rubbish thrown their way, they gobble it up and grow in size (and smell) and leave an icky toxic slime trail which causes plants to die and any animals to be very sick. They can also use their slime to stick the Eco Protection Squad to the ground. They can even join together and the bigger they are, the more terrible gases they release into the environment, causing more pain to Terra.
Special skills: Their toxic slime and the ability to grow bigger by eating more litter which means they take over more natural space (boo).
Waste-Water Wally
Position: Fatberg creator and water waster
About him: Wally LOVES it when you flush oils, grease and wet wipes down the toilet or sink. He wants the waterways and oceans to be blocked
Special skills: Can suck water up and shoot it out through his fingers. He also leaves a thick, dark, oily slime wherever he goes.
