The children are our future that is what we say
But what will our future look like if we teach them how to treat the environment in a bad way
If they learn all the old bad habits we used to destroy nature in the past
How will they survive on the planet that is warming and how long will the earth’s resources last
Climate change is telling us that change is needed right now
And even the children will need to know about the change that is needed somehow
They will need to face a future that is different from what we knew
And it is not too early for them to start planning what to do

The collapse of food production could become a reality
And we need to stop and look at a better possibility
The zero waste plan is one that can help us to solve the problems
There are other solutions too, but will we pay attention to them?

Our children should not be facing a future that will cause them to be stressed out
When they are seeing violent hurricanes, wild fires and food shortages caused by drought
I believe there is no parent who would not want do something to change this grim outlook
But we are seeing the effects of climate change already and facts are written in many books

But if we could start telling the children about the things they can do to protect the environment
We would be helping them to plan for a future that is filled with peace and contentment
And we would be working towards having a bright future
And the life we are living now would be so much better
