"The Green House" is the twenty-second episode of the first season of The Loud House.
Plot[]
Lincoln tries to encourage the family to stop using so much electricity.
Synopsis[]
Mrs. Johnson's class is taking part in an eco-friendly "Polar Bear Challenge", in which they try to find ways to reduce their carbon footprint, but Lincoln's large family uses an incredible amount of energy for their everyday needs, and Lincoln is in danger of becoming an outcast to his schoolmates for not going green. He explains to the viewers that he must reduce his sisters' energy uses, hoping to get his sisters on board, but his sisters angrily refuse to by saying they would rather not go green. With his social standing at stake, Lincoln convinces his sisters to lower their energy use, by using a poster of an adorable polar bear to arouse their sympathies, making them cry.
After the Louds manage to reduce their energy output, Clyde calls Lincoln to remind him that he's due to participate in an online Swords & Cyborgs tournament. Not wanting to ruin his efforts, and risk being labelled an outcast, Lincoln cuts off more and more electrical appliances in the house to accommodate plugging in his laptop in the basement, especially when his friends come over with their laptops to join him. With the rest of the house dark, and the girls reduced to wearing potato sacks and stink, they call out Lincoln for his hypocritical actions, saying that they shouldn't go green if he won't. He finally shows the poster to his sisters, which they admire again. Unfortunately, his sisters have now started to reject the polar bear, and tell him that they refuse to protect the planet or go green ever for his wrongdoing. They all go to get their stuff back. Feeling terribly guilty, Lincoln realizes that he should have been going green for the sake of it rather than for his own selfish desires, and no longer cares about his social standing. He decides to fix everything by powering the house manually via a bicycle while his sisters resume their wasteful activities.
At the end of the week, Mrs. Johnson announces that, thanks to Lincoln, the class has won the Polar Bear Challenge, and decides to name the bear after herself, much to the chagrin of her students. Lincoln is not an outcast, but his social life is temporarily out the window... because all of that hard work has made him extremely stinky, forcing him to stand outside the classroom.
