Keeping Our Earth Clean

If I could change the world I’d paint it all green
No more garbage to be seen
I believe we need to be clean.
No more takeway cups we can’t recycle
Instead of cars we’d all ride a bicycle
That’s keeping our earth clean.
I won’t use plastic wrap for my cake
It never breaks down in the trash
What a mistake.
All that food thrown away you didn’t eat
Some children would call this a treat
Let’s only buy what we need.
Please no more waste in the lake
to poison our fish is another mistake
Along with turtles, frogs and birds.
There’d be no more pollution
If we created the solution.
And that’s what children will do.
