E-Waste

Electronics are needed
In a digital age like now,
But when they need to be disposed
There’s a certain way how!

E-waste can be toxic
And pollute water, soil and air,
Cause terrible health problems
If not handled with care!

Buy what you need, not what you want
Reduce dependence and strife.
Don’t always buy the latest and greatest
Reuse and stretch its life! 

Don’t throw them or burn them
Or leave them strewn around.
Don’t keep them near heat
Or toss them as garbage onto the ground!

Hand them over to authorized people
Who’ll recycle them in the right way.
Let’s make Mother Earth
Cleaner day by day!

    Awesome work Lauren! So refreshing for a young person as yourself to be mindful of how we should respect our environment. We all have a part to play and your poem is a good reminder to us all.

    Well written Lauren, especially for a tween this little poem is very, very well written. Continue and develop the writing habit and it will pay off in the long run. Here is a challenge: write a page about "A dialogue with my toilet - how would I resolve the problem when our toilet goes on strike" and then write a second page on "reaction from our toilet to my proposal to resolve the strike". Abstract+Creative writing on imaginary concepts helps improve your ability to think and also your writing skills. These creative writing skills are very important in high-end college examinations
