Happy Earth Day

This is a little ditty written for the 20th anniversary of Earth Day by me and my buddy Rebecca Troop. It was for a Brownie Girl Scout event, so it's audience was elementary age girls.

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

Reduce, re-use, recycle

It’s good for us today

Reduce, re-use, recycle

Tomorrow it will pay

If we all are careful

Of what we throw away

There will always be places

Where children can play

There will always be trees

For buildings and for homes

There will be resources

When we all are gone

But if we are not careful

We’ll fill our earth with waste

Then we will be crowded

By things thrown out in haste

Soooo . . . . . . .

Reduce, re-use, recycle

It’s good for us today

Reduce, re-use, recycle

Tomorrow it will pay
