Let's us introduce you to

It's Our Planet Too

My name is Sam and my name is Lou.
And guess what? It’s our planet too…

The world where we live is a special place,
it can be seen for miles, from outer space.
As the number of people has grown and grown,
our impact on earth, is beginning to be known.

The earth’s not been cared for as it should,
pollution and destruction have brought no good.
Our resourceful planet, once brimming with wealth
is no longer such a picture of health.

Oil, gas, coal; once there was plenty,
these precious deposits are running on empty.
Rainforests and oceans we need to protect,
these amazing wonders deserve our respect.

But it’s not just humans we need to keep happy,
to save the animals, we need to be snappy.
As the world changes, their homes disappear,
for so many creatures, it’s their biggest fear.

Our modern ways have changed our land,
to secure a future we must take a stand.
You don’t need to turn your whole life green,
just make a change, to your normal routine.

Even the small things like recycling our waste,
can make a difference to the problems we face.
Don’t put your rubbish straight in the bin,
save your paper, glass, aluminium and tin.

When you go on a trip and it’s not very far,
try using your bike, instead of the car.
When the chilly weather starts to take hold,
just put on a jumper, if you’re a bit cold!

And if you’re at home and fancy a bath,
a shower uses less water by half.
And then there’s the problem of too much plastic,
we must make a change, and it needs to be drastic!

If everyone did just a little to help,
we can change the hand that we’ve been dealt.
Just try your best, please do?
After all, it’s our planet too!
