Going Green by: Ron Hull (http://ronhullauthor.com/poems/goinggreen.htm
Going green is what it's all about. Everyone's doing it, there's no doubt.
Makes me want to sing and shout,
"Green, green... green, they say,
on the far side of the hill."
Here, take your pill... it's herbal.
Going green is highly verbal.
Like I am Irish (3/10 of a percent).
Wearing of the green is where it went.
Greens on my table instead of red meat,
I used to roar and now I bleet.
Hired ChemLawn to do my grass,
now it's greener than my gas.
Always knew I had a green thumb,
Pruned my peach into a plum.
Bought a hybrid cuz that's my pride,
Handful of oats and a donkey mile I ride.
Turned all my stocks into cash,
to keep an eye on my green stash.
Everyone's green with envy at my style,
showing off my green teeth, I just smile.

iGREEN FACTS:
Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil.
Energy saved from one recycled aluminum can will operate a TV set for three hours and is the equivalent to half a can of gasoline.
Enough glass was thrown away in 1990 to fill the Twin Towers (1,350 feet high) of New York's World Trade Center every two weeks.
Every day 50 to 100 species of plants and animals become extinct as their habitat and human influences destroy them.
Deserts are advancing and taking over the land. In Mali the desert has taken over about 220 miles in as few as 20 years. Deserts can be repelled, by developing tree-planting projects, having better agriculture and by managing the land better.
Despite all of the damage we have caused the environment most of it is reversible. We can restore habitats and return species to them; clean rivers; renovate buildings; replenish the topsoil, replant forests. However, these activities do not relieve the worst symptoms of the damage. We still have to fix the source of these problems, us and our vision that we must progress.
Already over half of the world's tropical forests have been lost.
When you visit a pharmacist, one in every four purchases will have come from a tropical forest. Plastics take 500 years aluminum cans take 500 years organic materials take 6 months cotton, rags, and paper take 6 months.
If you throw away 2 aluminum cans, you waste more energy than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) of the world's poorest people use a day.
On average, a person in the US uses energy two times more than a person in Japan or West Germany does, and 50 times more than a person in India.WAYS KIDS CAN GO GREEN:
