Lyrics
It's time to take care of Mother Earth
There are many ways we can take care of our Earth
Together we can finally show her how much she is worth
For there is only one place that we call our home
It is this pale blue dot of ours that we freely roam
We can take our cans and sort them into different bins
And buy things with different packaging, that's another win
Simple things, like less paper waste, stops pollution's haste
Allowing all to view Mother Nature's perfect taste
Sorting colors and metals, removing labels
Well, cleaning up the items so they'll be recycled
Well, it only takes a minute to make a difference that is big
Even if your job is working on a large oil rig
Oh, yeah
Let's come together and show Mother Earth how much she's worth
Think of future generations
She's not just our earth
Let's ensure the world's survival
And reduce, reuse, and recycle
Oh yeah
We can walk instead of drive to close places every day
Or ride a train or catch a bus if it's too far away
Sharing a car can limit emissions, too, it's true
That's right, sometimes biking might be the best thing that you can do
There are always lots of chores that people need to get done
All that running around in cars is never really fun
If errands were combined and finished all in one trip
It would save some gas and carbon emissions would dip
Every effort we take to reduce the footprint we make
Matters more than you think because the whole world is at stake
Tiny snowflakes join into an avalanche with power
Saving energy counts every single kilowatt hour
Let's come together and show Mother Earth how much she's worth
We got to show her, we got to show her
Let's come together and show Mother Earth how much she's worth
Think of future generations
She's not just our earth
Let's ensure the world's survival
And reduce, reuse, and recycle
Oh yeah
Fresh water is one of our most precious commodities
With little changes, we can make a big difference, you'll see
A running faucet isn't trying to run away
It's wasting water and running up your bill every single day
We can also pay more attention to the foods we eat
Because some use lots of water to create that tasty treat
It takes hundreds of gallons for just one pound of beef
Smarter eating gives our world much needed relief
That doesn't mean we can never use water to have fun
It just means to be careful, don't let the faucet run
Sure, making changes to routines can sometimes seem tough
But life in a polluted world, that's really rough
Let's come together and show Mother Earth
How much she's worth
Let's come together and show Mother Earth how much she's worth
Think of future generations
She's not just our earth
Let's ensure the world's survival
And reduce, reuse, and recycle
Recycle, oh yeah
Changing an old light bulb is more than an epiphany
It's also a good way that you conserve more energy
LEDs are just as bright and last many hours long
Removing tons of emissions that really didn't belong
Turning lights off to save money won't make anyone rich
But it's so very easy to flip off an unused switch
It will help reduce the amount of energy used
Ensuring our planet's resources are not abused
We can change the business where we access our power source
Renewables reduce fossil fuels without losing energy force
Solar, wind, and hydro are some options, that's three
What changes could make a better world for you and me
Let's come together and show Mother Earth how much she's worth
Think of future generations
She's not just our earth
Let's ensure the world's survival
And reduce, reuse, and recycle
We can clean out our air filters at home once in a while
So that way good indoor breathing can always be a style
Programmable thermostats set the temp when you're gone
Allowing Earth's fuels to continue pressing on
Our landfills are the places that take in our solid waste
Trash bag after trash bag, this is where they're placed
Composting is a way to reduce what's thrown away
Giving us more land and space to go outside and play
A little thought and time each day is really all it takes
Cause there never really has been any higher stakes
Let's show our earth just how much we all think she's worth
So that all living creatures can experience rebirth
Let's come together and show Mother Earth how much she's worth
Think of future generations
She's not just our earth
Let's ensure the world's survival
And reduce, reuse, and recycle
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Hey
