Poetry

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 environmenthealthy and clean,Recycling is fun,and also quite green.
