Turtles, Monkeys, Penguins
Turtles, monkeys, penguins
Running from their homes
Danger consuming their very homes
Plastic
Bags, cups, and straws expanding over the ocean
Carbon emissions ripping holes in our life force
Yet we sit and watch, hoping for someone else to make the change
Thinking changes will come soon but we know they won't
Not unless we actually start to make that change
Imagine:
Turtles swimming in clean water
Monkeys haing a tree to sleep in
Penguins having ice to slide on.
Using glass or metal in place of plastic
Using reusable bags at the grocery store
Or returning your empty soda bottle to the company rather than throwing it away
Small changes will make the biggest difference
But one person cannot do it alone
