Plastic Pollution Song - 2022-01-14.m4a
Plastic Pollution Song © 2022 Mary K. Armstrong
Plastic Pollution is poisoning our world – our land, our air, our seas.
Did you hear me now?
Plastic Pollution is poisoning our world – our land, our air, our seas.
Let’s stem the tide, be part of the solution for our land, our air, our seas.
Ten Towns Initiative, that’s our campaign name – based on the power of ten.
Goal is to educate - and empower change – one - by one - then ten.
Individuals - can make a difference. Families - can then extend -
To local civic groups - schools + institutions – you see the trend my friend?
Industries, government – or even new laws – based on the power of ten.
Plastic production - has grown exponentially - since the Second World War
Most of that plastic – it still exists today - in pieces worn or torn
The tiny fragments are called microplastic – they’re found from shore to shore
This microplastic – is easily ingested – by birds - by fish - and more
Pause: Just to be clear:
‘and more’ means us, we humans, at the top of food chain.
End Pause
Come join our team – the Ten Towns Initiative – be part of the restore corps
Plastic Pollution is poisoning our world – our land, our air, our seas.
