1. Teach the children the following song:
The More We Love Our Earth by Virginia Jean Herrod
(Tune: "The More We Get Together")
The more we love our Earth,
Our Earth, our Earth,
The more we love our Earth
The happier we'll be.
For we can recycle,
Reuse, and reduce.
The more we love our Earth
The happier we'll be.
The more we love our Earth,
Our Earth, our Earth.
The more we love our Earth
The happier we'll be.
Reduce your use of water
Don't run those sprinklers.
The more we love our Earth
The happier we'll be.
Recycle your plastic bottles.
They make great carpets.
The more we love our Earth
The happier we'll be.
Reuse those old newspapers.
They're great for art projects.
The more we love our Earth
The happier we'll be.
