Green is better than being mean

Green seems to keep people keen

Green is the smell of freshly cut grass

Being green can make our world last

Green is better than throwing in the bin

As so much waste is becoming a sin

Put your peelings on a compost heap

To start recycling is not a big leap

Place your plastic, paper and cardboard in a recycling bag

If you don’t all ready do it you must be mad

Cardboard and paper, will save a tree later

Shred all those pieces if they have lots of data

Have a nice brew of your favourite tea

Then place them on your compost just like me

Green, white and brown are the bottle bins

Recycle your bottles along with your tins

Butter tubs,  bottle tops

Juice cartons and yogurt pots

Recycling your clothes is not only one way                  

Hand them in and be paid today

Don’t make it a chore

Throw on your compost your apple core

Why don’t you recycle your egg shell

It is not a pain as it does not smell

It’s not hard to do it’s like one and two

So look hard in the wardrobe and recycle that shoe

Green can be clever, green can be cool

So tell all your friends to recycle it all
