Collective Suicide
We’ve already decided …
In one minute -
50 acres of rain forest
Are destroyed.
One billion trees -
Are used to make
Disposable diapers
Every year.
One third -
Of what you throw away
Is packaging.
Acid rain -
Stops reproduction in fish
And kills crayfish.
Our cars -
Burn 2 gallons a day
That’s 20 lbs of carbon monoxide.
In our air.
70% of our trash -
Ends up in a landfill.
30% is recycled.
7 pounds -
Of garbage a day
Is what YOU produce.
… Our collective suicide.
