recycle
if we live our lives, by the 4r rule
this world we just might save...and cool
when it has a triangle then put in
the great big yellow...lidded bin
first recycle paper, bottles and the can
a step towards saving us...human man
next refuse the humble plastic bag
instead place items inside your swag
now just use and use...and then reuse
if we don`t...in time we all will loose
your garden will grow...grow...grow
if into a compost vegie scraps will go
save the water from your washing machine
in summer it can keep lawns lush and green
packaging say no...it will led us to reduce
the one big change we all need to introduce
don't let the bright colours caress or seduce
be strong say no...don`t make any excuse
can't be seen in the same outfit twice
curb this thinking or we all pay one big price
over consuming is the one big mistake
our world now needs us to curb and abate
we need to use some of our common sense
or we`ll end up paying one great big expense
don't laugh...it`s not so funny
you might even save some money
if we don't rise to take a stand
this could be the end of human man
for many a drop makes an ocean
it`s such an old lost simple notion
do nothing, it`s all a con say the naysayer
if we listen we end up being one big payer
now is the time for all to do our little bit
our old ways we need to cease and omit
the point of no return is close at hand
so together as one we now must band
