New Generation Waste Warriors Music Video - check it out!

Many of our students in our Waste Warriors group had the opportunity this week to participate in a professionally produced music video with Music Video Education (see their philosophy here), an organisation that specialises in teaching creative arts, science, digital technology through music. Their aim is to develop skills and techniques that are required for the next generation of Kiwi innovators, artists, and creators.

Check out the music video here.

The kids had a great time, and as you can see, put a lot of thought into creating the lyrics.

Lyrics by Island Bay School

Verse 1

Lighten up your life with a little flint 

Use your garden to grow your mint

walking, biking, that's a hint

reduce your carbon footprint

We can reduce

Ya ya ya

We can reuse 

Ya ya ya 

We can recycle 

Ya ya ya 

Reduce Reuse Recycle

Chorus

next generation, next generation

not only for us but every nation

Verse 2

Jump on your bicycle

reduce recycle 

sustainability is the key

save you me no planet B

plant trees save the bees

be fantastic buy less plastic 

this is my wish to save the fish 

we can reduce

ya ya ya

we can recycle

ya ya ya

Chorus 

Next-generation, next-generation,

not only for us but every nation

Verse 3

If we take action, we’ll get satisfaction

Find the solution for the pollution

it could take over like supernova

We need to get up off the sofa

conservation collaboration

we protect the entire nation

Our innovation will save generations

Time goes tick-tock on the clock

Check out my waste-free lunchbox 

We can reduce

Ya ya ya

We can reuse 

Ya ya ya 

We can recycle 

Ya ya ya

Reduce reuse recycle 

As I ride my bicycle 

Reduce reuse recycle 

As I ride my bicycle 

Chorus

Next-generation next generation,

not only for us but every nation

Verse 4

Global plastic is a big disgrace 

we don't want it all over the place 

We will we will reduce 

No way we’ll let plastic fly away

It won't decay, seas turn grey 

Let's compost no ecosystem loss

We can reduce

Ya ya ya

We can reuse 

Ya ya ya 

We can recycle 

Ya ya ya

Reduce reuse recycle

as I ride my bicycle
