What You Can Do
Build a better world they say.
Do something little every day.
Pick up trash or plant a seed.
Donate food to those in need.
Greet your neighbors. Walk to school.
Turn off the tap—make that a rule.
Recycle paper, cans, and glass.
Compost leaves and scraps and grass.
Every day, enjoy the sun.
Save the world because it’s fun!
Do something little every day.
Pick up trash or plant a seed.
Donate food to those in need.
Greet your neighbors. Walk to school.
Turn off the tap—make that a rule.
Recycle paper, cans, and glass.
Compost leaves and scraps and grass.
Every day, enjoy the sun.
Save the world because it’s fun!
