OUR PLANET EARTH
DEPENDS ON US


By Josie Whitehead

Our Planet Earth Depends on Us

Our Planet Earth depends on us -

     Yes, every living soul -

And the love we show it every day

     Should be our human goal.

 

Here are some thoughts to keep in mind

     As you begin your day:

It’s things that you can do at home,

     At school and in your play.

 

Transfer your rubbish to your bin

     And recycle things as well:

Paper, bottles, cardboard, cans –

    But wash out things that smell.

 

Plastic can wash out to sea

     And harm the wildlife there –

So think, and think, and think again,

     And do take lots of care.

 

Don’t spend your spare time motoring,

     But play outdoors instead.

You’ll use up all that energy

     And sleep better in your bed.

 

Our Planet Earth depends on us;

     It’s home to me and you.

Remember we should show our love

     In everything we do.

QUESTION:  What have you done today for Planet Earth - and what have I done?  Did you put your paper, cardboard etc in recycling?  Did you feed the birds in your garden?  Did you not waste the water you used?  Did you put rubbish in the bin when outside or in school?  Did you walk somewhere or cycle, rather than riding in a car?  What else could you have done?
