Theodore soon reminds them that all the tugs make pollution. Later on, all the tugs agree on the great idea of a 'Big Harbour Clean-up Contest' to be held.

The Great Harbour Clean Up Contest

All the tugs seem to have a very big plan in terms of what part of the harbor they are each going to clean up in the contest. However, once Theodore has heard each tug's 'big plan' he can't seem to think of one himself. So he has to settle for a 'little plan'.

Theodore Changes Sides
