We need to start writing haikus on our cardboard in paint or sharpie that speak to the importance of being gentle to our recycling bins.

Bin, a green ally,

Recycles waste to protect

Earth and all her kin.

Handle with much care,

This container of reuse,

A world to repair.

A broken green bin,

A waste of resources, time,

Handle it with grace.

Recycling bin strong,

But gentle touch extends life,

Careful, for earth's sake.

Recycling, a chance

To heal our home, our planet,

Handle with respect.
