Let’s Recycle
Look around,
there’s so much plastic,
Let’s recycle,
it’s fantastic.
Don’t forget,
about paper and glass,
Recycle together,
with your entire class.
We’ll make sure,
we never litter,
Let’s recycle,
we’re not quitters.
When we place our garbage,
in the right bin,
Both us and nature,
will clearly win.
Thanks for keeping the environment
healthy and clean,
Recycling is fun,
and also quite green.

I think children are excellent ambassadors for recycling. When kids become informed about the need to recycle, they often get involved with lots of conviction. It really shows that they care about the environment and all the living things that use it as their home.
I think sometimes kids understand the importance of recycling and preserving our environment more than us adults. Adults often have conflicting views because many of our decisions are driven by money. Children don’t suffer with this dilemma.
Today, I decided to write an extra poem about the environment for all you wonderful kids out there.
Waste and Pollution
We all need to
reduce our waste,
Let’s do it now,
with plenty of haste.
It’s also important,
for us to reuse,
If we’re really lucky,
We’ll be on the news.
Our future,
must be sustainable,
We can do it,
it’s all attainable.
About our environment,
we need to care,
It’s the only one we have,
and we have to share.
Global warming,
and greenhouse gases,
To see the harm,
you don’t need glasses.
As a team,
we’ll reduce pollution,
Caring is
the first solution.

This poem may be for kids, but the message is universal. Kids really do care about the environment. The rest of us just need to catch up and begin caring as well.
Have fun recycling and reducing your environmental impact with your kids.
