[option] "This is just horrible!" sobs marine scientist @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ fervently cleans trash off your desk. "Crabs are extremely important to our coasts, and are essential in preserving our marine ecosystems. But when a hermit crab mistakes plastic for a shell and dies, they emit a smell that attracts more crabs to what they believe to be a vacant shell — only to find themselves trapped too! We have to clean up our beaches, if only to stop this deadly cycle and keep these creatures alive!"

[option] "We need to do more!" exclaims environmental activist @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ sets fire to your trash can. "Stopping plastic waste from reaching our beaches is the only way to keep our marine habitats pristine and their inhabitants safe. Impose strict no-littering laws on beaches, promote sustainable products like reusable water bottles, and heavily fine people who don't comply." @@HE@@ whisks out a photo of a hermit crab and puts it to @@HIS@@ chest. "This is for you, Crabkins."

[option] "I have no clue why, but for some reason people think these garbage critters are cute!" squeals @@RANDOMNAME@@, owner of the infamous shoreside restaurant The Crispy Crab. "This is the perfect opportunity to promote the tourism industry and make a dime! If your subsidize shop owners and tourist facilities in our coastal cities, people will just be clawing to visit @@NAME@@ to observe these delightful little crabs!"
