Stop and Think!
Can you see the rubbish
Lying on the ground?
The wind picks up the plastic bags
Blows them all around.
If you want a healthy planet
It’s all down to you
So when you eat your crisps and sweets
Here’s what you can do:
Stop and think! Throw it in!
Put your rubbish in the bin!
Come on now, we need to care
For this wonderful world we share!
Stop and think! Throw it in!
Put your rubbish in the bin!
Come on now, we need to care
For this wonderful world we share!
Packets, tins and paper
Old banana skins
Foil and plastic wrappers
Cartons, straws and tins.
In the woods and parks, on beaches
On the pavements, in the street
Don’t be a messy litter-bug,
Don’t drop things at your feet.
[Chorus]
We all want a happy world
We need to respect it
Keep it healthy, green and clean
Let’s try to protect it.
You can get recycling
There are bins for different things
Glass and plastic, cardboard too
It’s all down to you!
[Chorus]

Take the time to discuss with the class that responsibility for the environment falls on everyone including governments and businesses. Emphasise that taking actions in your own life, however small, can help relieve feelings of anxiety or helplessness - in addition to the positive difference these small actions make to the environment. If any of your class are worried from Â鶹ԼÅÄ Children in Need offers helpful advice.
