Picnic, Less Waste! | An Earth-Friendly Kids’ Song

◷ 2:08

A bright kids’ song about packing a family picnic with a reusable bottle, lunch box, spoon, and cloth bag. It shows how saving water and energy, reusing and repairing things, and sorting unavoidable waste by local rules can reduce everyday waste.

Text from the recording’s subtitles.

Song lyrics
Le pique-nique remplira-t-il la poubelle ? On prépare le repas; elle est encore vide Les paquets jetables feraient un grand tas Je prends ma gourde et ma boîte à repas Ma cuillère en métal va dans le sac en tissu On les réutilise ou bien on les prête Alors on a besoin de moins de jetables Chaque jour, on gaspille un peu moins Réutilise, fais durer Mis bout à bout, nos petits choix comptent Moins gaspiller, c'est aider la Terre Je remplis ma gourde et ferme le robinet La dernière goutte ne tombe plus En sortant, j'éteins la lumière inutile On partage les fruits sur des assiettes solides L'anse a cédé; un nœud répare le sac Chaque jour, on gaspille un peu moins Réutilise, fais durer Mis bout à bout, nos petits choix comptent Moins gaspiller, c'est aider la Terre Boîte et gourde reviennent à la maison On trie ce qui reste selon les règles du lieu Certaines matières peuvent devenir de nouveaux objets Chaque jour, on gaspille un peu moins Réutilise, fais durer Mis bout à bout, nos petits choix comptent Moins gaspiller, c'est aider la Terre La poubelle du pique-nique reste presque vide
Language version lyrics
What could fill this bin after our picnic? We pack our lunch; for now, it stands empty Throwaway wrappers could pile to the top I choose a bottle and a lunch box Metal spoon and cloth bag come along We use them again or lend them out Then fewer throwaway things are needed Every day, we waste a little less Use it again, make it last Small choices add up when we join We help Earth by wasting less I fill my bottle, then I close the tap The final drop no longer falls As we leave, I switch the light off We share sliced fruit on sturdy plates We tie the torn strap; our bag lasts longer Every day, we waste a little less Use it again, make it last Small choices add up when we join We help Earth by wasting less Lunch box and bottle are coming back home We sort what remains by the rules where we live Some collected materials can become new things Every day, we waste a little less Use it again, make it last Small choices add up when we join We help Earth by wasting less The picnic bin stays almost empty

What Is a Carbon Footprint? Maja’s Invisible Outing Trail

Maja compares two ways to reach the same park and discovers what a carbon footprint means. Paper-cloud cutouts mark choices linked to burning fuel, producing energy, or making new things. They are a simple comparison model, not an exact measurement. This educational children’s song explains that greenhouse gases hold extra warmth around Earth and that fewer emissions mean a smaller footprint—not necessarily zero.
