This term our school theme was “Protect the Environment, Save Mother Earth” and our class theme presentation in week four was “Saving Mother Earth,” It was about the pollution caused by humans. What we did was, we tied leaves on our hands and fingers to act like plants growing normally. Then a group came in to act like they polluted mother earth by littering with plastic and polythene and mother earth died. After that another group came to clean and save mother earth. We then presented a poem about save mother earth. At the end we danced with energy and ended the presentation. But this term wasn’t all about saving mother earth but also maintaining a clean and plastic free world so I encourage you to sensitize more people on saving and maintaining a pollution and plastic-free world. So, join Taibah and make the world a better place to be and live.
Here is our poem:
Stand aside, you polythene manufacturers
Stand aside, you polythene distributors
Stand aside, you polythene consumers
Your product takes up to 1500 years or more to decompose in the soil.
Stand aside, you corrupt officials
You receive bribes instead of saving mother earth
Stand aside, you business community
Your business is a disgrace to mother earth
Stand aside, you dishonest preachers
Your churches stand on wetlands
Stand aside, you educationists
Your education does not add life to mother earth
Stand aside, you soldiers of war
You pretend to defend life yet you leave mother earth dying.
We are tired of you who destroy forests
We are tired of you who reclaim swamps
We are tired of you who mine minerals
We are tired of your short-sighted gains
Your actions chock, suffocate and kill mother earth.
What shall we do when all plants die?
What shall we do when all animals die?
What shall we do when all water bodies dry?
The question goes to all of us
What shall we do?
Stand firm Taibah schools
Stand firm Taibah staff
Stand firm Taibah children
Stand firm P.7 Pigeon
Your fight to save mother earth is a fight worth winning!
