NON! AUX PLASTIQU-ES
QUI EMBALL-ENT NOS PRODUITS:
ILS NE SE RECYCLENT PAS,
EN FAIT – ILS SONT TOXIQUES.
Les métaux et le ver-re se recyclent: oui, c’est vrai,
Mais les emballages plastiqu-es ne peuvent pas s’y ajouter.
NO MORE PLASTIC!
PLASTIC MUST BE BANNED.
OR THERE WILL BE DESOLATION
ACROSS OUR LOVELY LAND
All those one-use plastic bags and bubbles for our pills,
Can never be recycled, and create pollution ills.
Texaco and Nestlé, Exon-Mobile, and BP
Want us to think those plastics are as safe as safe can be.
Big petro corporations have been pushing us around
To make us think recycling’s the solution they have found:
Just flash the word “recycle” and all problems go away:
BUT ONLY 2 PERCENT OF PLASTICS CAN BE USED ANOTHER WAY.

RECYCLING’S NOT THE KEY.
RECYCLING’S JUST A SCAM TO PUT
THE LOAD ON YOU AND ME.
Those handy one-use plastics that can seem so safe and chic,
End up in oceans, woods and lakeshores, in every winding creek.
They cannot be recycled so we must use some cleaner ways
To package and to carry the things we use every day.
SINGLE-USE PLASTICS:
THEY ARE KILLING US,
AND THAT’S THE REASON WHY
WE ARE MAKING SUCH A FUSS.
