Michael Droste and Jeffrey Walker, two teachers from Illinois, teamed up to create a song called Save The Planet. "We wanted a way to reach students, parents and everyone about this issue - and what better way than through a song," said Jeff. The song gives you easy, simple steps, that you can take to make the world a better place for you and everyone on the planet.
"We wanted to emphasize points that every person on the planet can do, such as: water and energy conservation along with recycling plastics and paper," said Jeff. (This message is found in the middle of the song.) Mike stated, "We wanted to bring people's attention on how we have damaged the earth from dumping garbage in the oceans and cutting down the forests." But besides emphasizing the problems, the song was written by the duo to bring a message of hope and positive change. "By people of the world working together and getting involved - we can make the changes needed to clean up our home." "Songs are a very fun and yet strong way to get a message into people's minds through a melody that people don't forget," said Jeff. The duo hope to get their message of positive change out to the public. Here is a lyrical quote from the song: "...with everyone working together we can turn this thing around." Many who have heard the song, go away humming the melody about ways in which they can "Save the Planet."

Save The Planet Lyrics

Verse 1:
Birds in the air, Fish in the sea Earth is so fragile, Watch it carefully
We pump waste into the rivers, The smog we cannot breathe
We've polluted our home, Its killing you 'an me
Chorus:
Save the planet Save the planet Save the planet from destruction
Verse 2:
You have to filter your drink water, We put hormones in our food
Corporate waste dumps, Are killing us too
We put garbage in the oceans, Scar the land and cut the trees
You gotta get involved and change what you see
Chorus:
Save the planet Save the planet Save the planet from destruction
Bridge:
You can help by reducing your energy and water consumption and recycling plastics and paper
with everybody working together we can turn this thing around
Chorus:
Save the planet Save the planet Save the planet from destruction
