Have you watched ‘Our Planet’ this weekend? Here’s something for the kids…

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 act 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 its 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
