What You Can Do-Earth Day poem

Read the following poem. Answer the questions that follow.

What You Can Do

When you see litter in the streets

And the air smells of pollution

When you feel like it's all piling up

Remember there is a solution

There's something each of us can do

To keep the rivers clean

To keep fresh the air we breathe

And keep the forests green

Help clean a beach

Or recycle bottles and cans

Learn about the problems we face

And help others understand

It doesn't have to be a lot

If we each just do our share

So take time out on Earth Day

To show the Earth you care
