The Big Green Poetry Machine is visiting you to say
We can all help save the environment by doing something today -
Recycle, say no to litter, walk to school - don’t get in the car
Planet Earth can be saved, your efforts will go far
Animals and plants are dying, Earth is sad, it really is a disgrace
Eco-kids tell us how to save the world, make it a better place
Use the power of words to tell us how we can help too
Write a poem, your words will make a difference, tell us what to do!

The Big Green Poetry Machine 2008: A Classroom Activity to Inspire Pupils!
The Big Green Poetry Machine is a fantastic new classroom activity. It gives your pupils the opportunity to be involved in a creative writing experience: from writing their poem to the chance of seeing their work in print.
Young Writers has worked closely with schools for the past 17 years, bringing a passion and enthusiasm for writing into lessons. This year we want pupils to use poetry as a medium for telling us how to make the world a better place.
