Burnhamthorpe Eco Code

By: Rafael Lopez (2024/2025)

In the whispers of the trees, a warning sighs, 

The earth is aching under polluted skies. 

Rivers once clear, now murky and brown, 

Nature’s vibrant colors fading, wearing a frown.

 

The ice caps are melting, the oceans rise high,  

Creatures are losing their homes, and we wonder why.

Smoke fills the air, choking our breath, 

A planet in peril, facing slow death. 

 

Yet, hope still blooms in the hearts that unite.

With courage and action, we’ll join the fight. 

For every small change, a ripple will start, 

Together we’ll heal the Earth, with love as our art.
