This is for our ‘Junior’ readers, a special contribution by Maansi Tikku Madam, principal of Parent’s Pride who shared her poem on Pollution and its effects.

Pollution here Pollution there Pollution everywhere Turn around Without a sound Choking people on the ground Polluting our environment Destroying our mother earth Ruining the nature Pollution here Pollution there Pollution everywhere Our world is full of pollution Noise,air,water pollution Too much smoke ,dust and dirt Too much noise of vehicles Wastes from factories Bulk of garbage Discharge of pesticides and chemicals Just damaging the ozone Spreading diseases and germs Make us want to leave the earth And live somewhere like Mars But now…. We need to come up with a solution Let’s all come together in a revolution We have to take a resolution To fight against this pollution Let’s think about this To make the air pure and clean For me For you And for everyone Don’t make pollution Give some solution We made the pollution So its up to us To stop pollution Pollution is cruel Pollution is dangerous Pollution makes the world cry We should open our eyes We should change our habits And stop pollution right now Don’t wait Don’t wait For others to start and fight Against pollution Take the first step to bring revolution The ozone is about to burst The global warming has Brought climatic changes Change of weather Shifting of seasons Melting of icebergs These biological changes are harmful The mother earth is crying Asking us Why do we make pollution? Why do we not dispose all the wastes? Why do we contaminate Lakes,rivers and other Sources of water? Why do we cut trees?? Why are we so inhuman? To our nature To our environment To our mother earth Now the time has come To take the pledge To save the nature To save the mother earth To make the air pure and clean To plant more trees To keep our school,home, City and country clean. To use bins And keep our environment clean Say no to plastic products And use paper and hand made products So there will be NO POLLUTION And our earth will be the best place to live in.
