Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition

Smoke. Plastic and mining
Endlessly produced all day and all night
Have you ever considered Where it goes?
Into the sea or in landfill
Or the effects, gorged by animals
Global warming and extinction
The earth is dying along with
Everything that inhabits it
The world is being smothered by smoke everyday like water on a fire
For the Great Barrier Reef
Lets go green
For the bird life
Lets go green
For the rain forest and deserts
Lets go green
For everything we care for and love
Lets go green
