People everywherebreathe the same air,share the same seas,live together on the land.People everywherewho learn, plan,work, care,cansave the earth. Betty Miles

If you listen for the songbirdsAs they greet the summer sun,And love the way the wind can makeThe trees sings just for fun; If you like to hear the oceanAs it drums upon the shore,And imagine all the whales out there,And hope they'll sing some more; If you think of all the animalsAs players in a band,Each with a lovely tune to play,All needed on the land; And know that as a boy or girlA woman or a manYou have a vital role to playIn Mother Nature's plan; If you honor every living thingAs a part of nature's treasureYou're in tune with Mother NatureSo let's all sing her song together.
 * In Tune With Mother Nature**

I am the EarthAnd the Earth is me.Each blade of grass,Each honey tree,Each bit of mud,And stick and stoneIs blood and muscle,Skin and bone. And just as INeed every bitOf me to makeMy body fit,So Earth needsGrass and stone and treeAnd things that grow hereNaturally. That's why weCelebrate this day.That's why acrossThe world we say:As long as life,As dear, as free,I am the EarthAnd the Earth is me. Jane Yolen

The Earth is ours to enjoyFor every little girl and boy.But we must always be aware.That all its beauty we must shareWith all the children yet to come,Who want to laugh and play and run Around the trees and in the fields. So we must keep our planet freeFrom messy trash and debrisWith air that's clean and fresh and clearFor all to breathe from year to year.We must never ever abuseOur sweet Earth that's ours to use.

(to the tune of "The Wheels On the Bus") Recycling in my home goes round and round,Round and round, round and round.Recycling in my home goes round and round,All through the day. Tie up the papers and take them back,Take them back, take them back.Tie up the papers and take them back,All through the day. > Crush the cans and take them back.....
 * Recycling In My Home**

> Rinse the milk bottles and take them back....

> Save the glass and take it back......

(to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad") We've been working on RECYCLING All the trash we can,We've been working on recycling, It's a very simple plan,Separate your glass and paper,Separate your plastic and tin.Take the trash that you've recycled To your recycling bin! We've been working on REDUCING All the trash we can.We've been working on reducing It's a very simple plan.Don't go wasting any products, Use just exactly what you need.Don't buy things in extra wrapping, Reduce and you'll succeed! We've been working on REUSING All the trash we can.We've been working on reusing, It's a very simple plan.If it's a paper bag you're using, Don't use it once, use it twice!Give old clothes and toys to someone, To reuse them would be nice!
