Recycling Poem and Songs

 

EARTH DAY MIXUP

I was telling my friend all about Earth Day

She heard me wrong and thought I said “birthday”

She said she would rush down to the mall

And buy a dollhouse or a doll

I said she shouldn’t buy all that stuff

The landfills are full of trash

Then she knew that she’d made a mistake

And said she would make a birthday cake

I cheered about that, I said “hooray!”

So that’s how we’re celebrating Earth Day

Now she’s learning about recycling trash

And not only that but she saved her cash!

What you can do

When you see litter in the streets

And the air smells of pollution

When you feel like it’s all piling up

Remember there is a solution

There’s something each of us can do

To keep the rivers clean

To keep fresh the air we breathe

And keep the forests green

Help clean a beach

Or recycle bottles and cans

Learn about the problems we face

And help other understand

It doesn’t have to be a lot

If we each just do our share

So take time out on earth Day

To show the Earth you care.
