As we are reading, think about all of the things that are being put into the Compost Stew… How are they alike? What are some similar things that could also be added to the compost? What is compost? What are some things that shouldn’t be placed in the compost? Why is it good to compost?

It's Not Scary, It's Decayed

Recycle It   Chorus Recycle it Recycle it If you think that you might just throw it away Remember it can live to see another day Recycle it Recycle it Whatever you do don't throw it away Make it live to see another day Verse Maybe it's a plastic bag Maybe it's the Sunday Paper Maybe it's the bottle that you drank your soda from Or the wrapper on a stick of gum Maybe it's a soup can Maybe it's a jar of strawberry jam Or the big container that holds your juice It all can be put to another use (Chorus) Verse Maybe it's a plastic bag Maybe it's the Sunday Paper Mabye it's the bottle that you drank your soda from Or the wrapper on a stick of gum Maybe it's a soup can Maybe it's a jar of strawberry jam Or the big container that holds your juice It all can be put to another use (Chorus)

I turn the faucet off when I am brushing my teeth Going Green Song I turn the faucet off when I am brushing my teeth I turn the lights off when I am going to sleep I use cold water to wash laundry I do all that I can to save energy Reduce, Reuse, Recycle I’m going green, I’m keeping the Earth clean I’m going green, I’m keepin’ it, keepin’ it clean I reuse rechargeable batteries again and again I shop at the thrift store to find a great bargain I take my bottles and cans and recycle them We’ll make a better world if we all join hands Reduce energy, water and waste Reuse what I can before I throw it away Recycle CD’s and DVD’s Newspaper, Junk Mail and Magazines Cell Phones, Cardboard and Old Machines I’m going green, would you go with me?

What should we do with all of this stuff?
