BEWARE Newsletter
Issue #5 - October 2020

Thea Rossi is a young girl from the small town of Sanaram, who is deeply worried about the devastating effects of climate change. One day she begins restlessly to imagine innovative solutions to reduce the flood risk that affects the urban and rural areas in her city, where green spaces are being progressively cementified.

Thea is a girl who suffers from antlophobia, the persistent fear of flooding. Nightmares ruin her sleep; She spends her days designing alternative solutions to secure her city and to preserve the water resources of the territory.

Thea meets Ole, who shares her same concerns and who will become a very close friend for the rest of her life. For the first time, Thea shares with someone her idea to build rain gardens and rainwater tanks in the open spaces of her city, demonstrating the effectiveness of innovative solutions that respect nature and protect the environment.

Thanks to Ole’s support, Thea finally takes courage and sends her drawings to the Mayor and the Municipal Council: will her suggestions be heard?

Together with Thea we can save the planet. Let’s not forget that the sea is made of many tiny drops.
