15,000 years ago the Olmec's played with rubber

Little did they know they would cause a future suffer

Parkes created plastic

Which seemed pretty fantastic

Then Baekeland made an even bigger discovery

WWll ended and everyone was enthusiastic

They started going crazy about all that plastic

Production was in ascent

Going up 400 percent

Piling up as trash and becoming pretty problematic

There was so much waste that we needed to recycle plastic

But it turned out that the problem was climactic

They labeled it all with chasing arrows

But we all know it not how that goes

It’s really only 10 percent which is pretty drastic

Recycling is good

But it’s been misunderstood

Bottles and cans are great

But plastic bags they hate

I hope you go and learn so our future is reassured
