My Contribution To Saving the Planet

I gave up my clothes drier, For cleaner air. I started a metal recycling scheme for my local church, So as not to leave them in the lurch. I dig most of my waste food into the garden, And it now looks more like a miniature Eden, I separate my paper and plastics, And only toss waste into bins. I try not to buy products that contain palm oil, Cause the environment they only spoil. I read up on what is user friendly, And treat Animals Kindly. I pick up rubbish in the street, To make it look neat. I hardly ever take the car anywhere I can walk, As I try to not be just all talk. I write on both sides of a sheet of paper, Which I think quite proper. We don't have a TV in every room, Or more than one broom. Our batteries we re-charge, Despite the extra charge. Yet my biggest contribution to sustainability, Something that needs a lot of agility, And built up resist-ability, That will give you respectability, And your dollars longevity, Leaving you with credibility, When if you only need one commodity, That is all you come out with, hopefully.
