Maybe one day it was perfect

Maybe one day it was green

But it is getting worse

Everyday

Every month

Every year

The air we breathe is polluted

The water we drink is too

The ice caps are melting and most think its global warming

Others disagree, they say there is none

so people will ask, “what about the changes in weather.”

and they will answer, “it is only cyclical, weather patterns have always changed.”

They cannot deny the overpopulation or the overfishing too

They cannot deny waste, pollution, or diminishing resources too

That is what we all agree, we need to do something different

Not just say it, but designate everyone jobs

Jobs for everyone, not just the rich and not just the poor

We agree, carbon emissions need to be reduced

We all need energy, to power our economy

we agree to it, but there’s always one question

how do we produce energy and not cause pollution?

Increase efficiency, we all agree is the answer

So let us stand up and act out

Let us reduce WasteLet us reuse what we can

Let use reduce, reuse, and recyclyeFrom fruit skins, let us make compost

Let all of us use handmade bags instead of plastic ones

And follow thisPaper cups and tin, use a recycle bin

it works!No need to grin

We can support green sources too

We can start at the beginning

And have the world plant trees

To preserve our environment

Because once destroyed

there is no going back

There is no other place to go

So let us all be responsible

Let us all be green
