Why Do I Have to Recycle? (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle)

When we throw are trash away, it's if it disappears (but actually)
It's packed into a landfill, where it sits and rots for years (blech)
Mucking up water, ground, and sky
For the animals and plants nearby
And that's why

We reduce, reuse, and recycle
You gotta reduce, reuse, and recycle

Think about all the things you buy
And the bags and tags that come with then
All those things when your done with then become trash
But if you buy a little less, use a little less
We reduce the amount of trash that we produce
Next up is reuse

Turning something old into something new
It might take some alteration and imagination too
A tire can be a playground swing
A can can be well, anything
Next up is recycle
Recycle what?
I'm so glad you asked
Paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, and glass
They're broken down into materials
To use for other stuff
So remembering to throw your trash away is not enough

You gotta reduce, reuse, and recycle
You gotta reduce, reuse, and recycle
You gotta reduce, reuse, and recycle, (and recycle)
