NO Plastic

Brought my re-usable bags
Trying to show I'm green
Reading labels and tags
Then hit the check-out scene


What part of "NO Plastic" don't you understand?
What's so tough about this simple command?
How can I expect to lend a hand?
When I'm trying to do my part,
Look what's made it in my cart!
What part of "NO Plastic" don't you understand?


Maybe a different line
Trying a different store
Problem's not only mine
When it happens once more


What part of "NO Plastic" don't you understand?
What's so tough about this simple command?
How can I expect to lend a hand?
When I'm trying to do my part,
Look what's made it in my cart!
What part of "NO Plastic" don't you understand?

My Green Scene

Napkin, Toilet, Towel, Computer
I buy recycled paper goods

Cardboard, Plastics, Glassware, Newspaper
I sort recycling as I should

Clothing, Cookware, Linens, Furniture
I donate excess from the home

Engine, Lighting, Gadgets, Thermostat
I power down when left alone

Dairy, Cereals, Berries, Vegetables
I try to develop my organic taste

Light bulbs, Water, Mailings, Packaging
I look for ways to reduce waste
