Poetry Let’s Recycle When we place our garbage, in the right bin, Both us and nature, will clearly win. Look around, there’s so much plastic, Let’s recycle, it’s fantastic. Thanks for keeping the environment healthy and clean, Recycling is fun, and also quite green. Don’t forget, about paper and glass, Recycle together, with your entire class. We’ll make sure, we never litter, Let’s recycle, we’re not quitters. http://www.anitapoems.com/blog/recycling-poem-for-kids
