Reusable, recyclable, this brown paper bag,

Not merely disposable like any old rag,

Don't toss it insouciant in bucket or bin:

Because our environment can't pardon that sin!

Our rough paper satchel, though used once before,

Can surely be re-used, yes, several times more:

Don't discard this item, so basic, so brown,

Unless you want Mother Earth sternly to frown.

Supportable, sustainable, our practices wise

Will help our poor planet survive, I surmise,

Inhabited by human folk of prudent restraint

Reusing, recycling, without a complaint.
