Green Art of the Week | Nature is good
#GreenArt of the Week
Nature is good but how can we guarantee the beauty of nature. At @thegreens, we are working to #EndPlasticPollution and we are encouraging you to join us in our crusade to #EndPlasticPollution. The beauty of nature will be restored if we #StopPlasticPollution.
The 5 Rs to #StopPlasticPollution
Chose of one or two or all of the 5 Rs and do something to stop plastic pollution
1. REFUSE
Simply say NO to single-use and disposable plastics, such as bags, bottles, straws, cups, spoons and plates! Discover alternatives. This is the most effective of 5R's and will allow you to discover that life without disposable plastics is not only entirely feasible, but also healthier and wealthier.
2. REDUCE
If you don’t need it, don’t take it!
Reduce your plastic footprint entirely by avoiding plastic in the first place or by buying in bulk, choosing products with the least packaging and amount of disposable parts, looking for products and packaging made from renewable resources, and avoiding plastic packaging and containers.
3. REUSE
Reuse preferably nontoxic, such as glass or stainless steel, containers and goods to make less waste. If you have plastic bags or containers, reuse them as well to prolong their life before recycling them.
4. REMOVE
A lot of plastics are already in the environment, causing a lot land and marine pollution. It’s high time we remove it via clean up campaigns, to recycle it!
5. RECYCLE
Recycle what you can’t refuse, reduce, reuse or remove from the Earth. Recycling plastic has many benefits, but is a last option because it uses energy.# Thanks for chosing to take action to end plastic pollution.

Environmental Change, a green poem by @mr-greens
You shit, piss and pollute upstream and drink downstream. Are you not a "shithole"?
People of Mother Earth, please Change!
You pollute the air and breath the same air: isn't it insane?
Homo sapiens, change!
You litter the streets and complain about the filth.
"Chai", i beg change!
You cut the tree, eat much meat, burn the fossil and biofuels and complain about the heat but deny climate change.
Isn't this surprising? My people, change!
You reclaim the land but cry about the floods.
Where did u want the water to go to? My "contri" people change!
You want good food but promote fertilized farming.
Isn't it crazy. My brothers and sisters change!
You kill bees but till the soil and expect good harvests. "Any how e dey, change!"
You condemn and deny "canda stick" (traditional medicine) but drink modern medicine.
Where do u think the raw materials for your medicine come from? Change!
In all, you want good health in a bad environment. Well, visit a psychiatrist or Change!
The poem highlights some of the bad things we do to the environment but expect good results. We will be glad if you can make contributions and share ideas about this poem as well as propose more lines for the poem.
The Earth Rangers are making an Environmental Change: Make a change!
