Today you are going camping
With your family, friends or class.
Please help us, don`t drop any litter!
`Cos` your litter lives longer than us.
Today you cut down your forests
But the planet needs our leaves.
Please stop it because tomorrow
You`ll have no air to breathe!

`
`Cos` nothing is forever
And nature is getting tired.
If we don`t stop and think today
Tomorrow the Earth could die.

You can have a bath or shower
But today is the time to think.
Save the rivers because without them
You`ll have no water to drink.
Today we are still in your forests,
In the sky, in the rivers, but look:
Don`t kill us! Because your children
Will see us in picture books.

What do the signs mean?
PLEASE
KEEP OFF
THE GRASS
ONCE
is not
ENOUGH

The Rule of three “R`s”
Reuse
Reduce
Recycle

What can we reuse/ reduce/recycle?

Celebrate the Earth with me,
the oceans, meadows, mountains, trees.
I`ll celebrate the Earth with you,
the flowers, people, creatures, too.
Let`s celebrate the Earth together,
new green grass, exciting weather.
Celebrate the Earth with me.
Let`s share delight in all we see.
