Look around you
What do you see
A world that’s struggling
Due to you and me
Overuse of luxuries
And a lean towards routine
Without a thought of consequence
And what our actions mean
There are lots of different ways
We can all help the nation
Not just currently
But for future generations
We should re-use more
Really think about each action
Maybe fix a broken item
Which would only cost a fraction
We live in a spoilt world
And need to come together
For every living creature
It should be our great endeavour
Does your car burn fossil fuel
Are emissions running high
Would you consider an EV
Or at least give it a try
When you clean your teeth
Does the water fill the sink
Turn the tap off while you brush
And save more water than you think
All those appliances on stand-by
Rack up each and every bill
And what you don’t recycle
Becomes toxic land fill
Plant flowers in your garden
Which will help to save the bees
Stop printing every email
And preserve our gorgeous trees
We are supermarket slaves
And spend a fortune on provisions
If we plan our shopping better
We’ll make thriftier decisions
Plastic is flooding our lives
A problem we must reign in
We must re-use and recycle
And use the proper bin
As energy costs rise
Consider that its worth
Acting smarter, cleaner, greener
To protect our fragile earth
However you choose to help
Its never too late to begin
Just do whatever you can
For the world we want to live in!
