I've been 4.55 billion years in the making, a beautiful revolving blue sphere,
where everything's finely balanced with a protective atmosphere.
But this fragile balance is being threatened by the actions of the human race,
harmful emissions damaging my atmosphere, ugly landfills filled with waste.
Here's a plea to you all earth-dwelling humans, every child, woman and man,
try to recycle the daily waste produced as much as you possibly can.
It will help me feel better and reduce any further damage being done,
Only if everyone does their bit, by recycling, can the battle be won.
So collect everything from glass, cardboard, paper, aluminium and plastic,
so it can be processed and turned into something new and fantastic.
Grass cuttings, textiles, small electricals, batteries and leftover food,
a lot of your waste can be recycled cheaply into something good.
Things such as insulation, steel beams and fibreglass made from glass jars,
carpets, backpacks, school uniforms, napkins and new parts for your cars.
Recycling saves natural resources, requiring less energy each time,
reduces water pollution and protects wildllife of every kind.
By recycling you can prevent global warming and preserve valuable landfill space,
reduce damage to the environment and make me a much nicer place.
I might look truly indestructible but in space I'm just a fragile "pale blue dot",
so please take good care of me because I'm the only home you've got.
