None of us have any excuse
For not wanting to reuse
The mother earth is our hearth
So we have to take care of her
When the polar ice caps melt
The planet perhaps ceases to be upheld
We have the solution to end pollution
If we all make some contribution
The world is begging us to please
Stop cutting down its trees
The future is unclear, and maybe
In a few years the world could disappear
This is the message of a 16-year-old boy
Who sees his world being destroyed

Daniel Sánchez Cruz is a 16-year-old from Madrid, Spain, who enjoys football.
