It Really Isn't Garbage
By Daniel Einbender © Mindbender Publishing

It really isn’t garbage till you mix it all together.
It really isn’t garbage till you throw it away.
So separate you paper, plastic, compost, glass and metal.
And then you get to use it all another day.

There’s garbage in the basement. There’s garbage in the bathroom.
There’s garbage in the kitchen, and in the backyard too.
Sometimes it feel like we’re fillin’ up the world with garbage.
And that kind of talk gives me the garbage blues.

Don’t put it in a landfill. It gets in your drinking water.
You’ll hurt the fish and beaches if you throw it in the sea.
We all have to recycle it’s the solution to pollution.
Don’t leave it up to others it’s up to you and me.

Well there are some folks who say. We really ought to burn it.
It makes new jobs and creates electricity.
But if you’re gonna to burn it, well then you’re gonna breath it.
And what you’re gonna breath, Oh there’s no guarantee.
