Recycle and Do Your Part - A Poem

Below is a beautiful poem by Fred Johnson, Vice-President of the Bond County Recycling Association. Fred, thank you for your heart.


Recycle and Do Your Part

Islands of plastics floating in the sea,
As we look to cut our forest of trees.
How long do you suppose,
It will take a glass jar to decompose?
They say about a million years,
But that may be the least of our fears.
Bits of Styrofoam little or tall,
Will never ever decompose at all.
Almost to much for us to cope,
But recycling offers hope.
For all cans of aluminum or tin,
Their new home will be a recycling bin.
Plastic jugs with walls thick or thin,
can also be thrown in.
Now there's no need to hoard,
Those piles of paper and cardboard.
So look into your heart,
And do what is smart.
Recycle and do your part.

---- Fred Johnson
