Recycle Week Poem – Why Recycle by Nils
June 22nd, 2009 byEarlier on this Year my son, Nils aged 7, took part in the latest Young Writers competition ‘My First Acrostic’. This competition is used as an introduction to poetry and creative writing, that children find both inspiring and fun.
Nils’s first acrostic was about why we should recycle.
My wife and I were delighted to be inform that Nils’s Recycle poem had been selected for publication. Therefore to celebrate the start of ‘WRAP’s Recycle Week’ I thought that my first post for Recycle Now readers should be this poem. So here it is;
WHY RECYCLE by Nils (7)
Why should we recycle?
How can you help the environment?
You can be recycling
Recycling is good
Every day reuse
Cycle to school
You must throw waste in a recycling bin
Carry your bottles to the bottle bank
Learn to put litter in the bin
Each of us must be responsible.
Don’t forget you can now go to the Recycle Now website to make your pledge.

There are some pretty strong messages there. It really is the children who seem to encapsulate it these days. They have a wonderful voice that must be listened to.
Nice acrostic poem about recycling :)
