 ECO MESSAGE

All who love the nature, And you look around you
Always aware you’d be A lot can be reused
That nature is alive Paper and glass and plastic
And any rubbish be! Could be again in use.

Think twice before you throw With plastic you make toys
What in your house you use: And give another child, ren
Paper could be recycled, Or make some flowers pots,
And many forest saved! Tool garden, other things.

And if you got my message

Should tell the others, too
The Earth will be again
A place with flowers, good.
