someone accidentally hit me when we were
playing basketball

what's with the trash bag we were
getting ready to tell barney about that
it's earth week at our school so we
picked up all the litter on the
playground well it sure looks beautiful
all nice and clean i guess it was worth
it sure and it didn't take long because
we shared the work hey tell me about
earth week tina what is it all the
classes study about the earth and ways
to take care of it
where are you going michael my teacher
said to leave this trash bag in a
classroom for the custodian to pick up
tonight i know let's see what earth week
projects they've started inside come on
great idea
look at all the pictures about the earth
oh and men painted this one about
animals that live in the woods it's good
here's a book about things kids can do
to help save our earth
barney why is studying about the earth
so important because it's the only world
we have derek it's our home and we don't
want to waste things we use that belong
to the earth like the air we breathe the
water we drink the land and trees
grass and birds and animals we want to
keep the earth clean and green
will you help protect the earth and keep
[Music]
yes
[Music]
[Music]
let's begin
to do
our part
[Music]
barney we can keep the earth clean by
not littering that's right tina we
should never throw trash on the ground
right we should always put trash in a
bag like this or a wastebasket or a
barrel but we also need to learn not to
throw everything in the trash what do
you mean lucy well we're throwing so
much away that we're running out of
places to put all the trash that's right
lucy i'll bet some of the earth's
treasures are about to be thrown out in
that bag
treasures in the trash i know what
barney means
this can is made of aluminum
and paper is made from trees
we can save aluminum and even trees just
like the one in the playground by
recycling these what's recycling well
recycling is where you use something
over again or make something new out of
something old we can make new bottles
cans and paper out of the old ones
instead of throwing them away
[Music]
i bet i could reuse this bottle
see i made a really neat sound hey
that gives me an idea for some fun and
music now here's what we'll do gather
around everybody
okay
[Music]
and now ladies and gentlemen the silly
symphony will play the blue
danube waltz
[Music]
do
oh that was a simply stupendous silly
symphony congratulate yourselves
thank you
but i've got a song that's even sillier
even sillier oh i'm gonna have to hear
this one
came back
from old algeria
and brought me back and got me a pair of
shears my egg came back
[Music]
my egg came back
[Music]
from the city
well what have you made tina as long as
we're singing silly songs i thought i'd
use some old newspaper to make something
for us to wear three corner hats yep
is there a silly song about three corner
hats here i'll teach it to you oh a new
song a new song oh boy i love a new song
okay here are the hand motions when i
sing the word hat point to your hat okay
when i sing the word three hold up three
fingers
when i sing the word corners bend your
elbow and point to it
okay watch me do it the first time
my hat it has three corners
three corners has my hat
and had it not three corners
it would not be my hat
now you do it with me okay
[Music]
this time leave out the word hat
[Music]
it would not be my

corners
[Music]
corners
it would not be mine
now leave out the word corners too
my
head

[Music]
oh that is illegal good song tina thanks
for teaching it to us thanks barney i
thought you'd like it do you know what
i'm going to do with my paper hat when i
don't want it anymore no what i'm going
to recycle it with other newspapers that
will help to save a tree good tina you
know reusing cans bottles and newspapers
is just one of the ways we can help save
the earth let's all take turns acting
out different ways we can save the earth
and the others will try to guess what
we're doing
[Music]
let's see what's tina doing
she's brushing her teeth and she's
turning off the water
she's brushing her teeth then turning
the water off i get it she's saving
water my tony get off wash he's brushing
her teeth right there
oh boy
hey
let's
brush okay
[Music]
oh i'm brushing my teeth on top
it's so much fun i hate to stop
but while i'm brushing my teeth and
having so
[Music]
oh
but while i'm brushing my teeth and
having so much fun i never let the water
run
no i never let the water run
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
oh
[Music]
hey barney i have another way we can
save the earth oh great lucy let's take
a look
guess what i'm doing
okay
well it looks like lucy's putting
groceries away in the refrigerator
[Music]
oh i know
she's saving energy by not holding the
refrigerator door open for a very long
time that's right michael but you missed
something oh what's that lucy i'm saving
trees by carrying my groceries home in a
cloth bag i can use it over and over
again
let's see
oh i don't think i can guess this one
how are you and derek helping the earth
michael instead of throwing away old
toys and clothes we don't want anymore
we're giving them to children who don't
have any oh that's twice as nice
caring for the earth and sharing with
others that's great
i liked all your ideas about saving the
earth too thanks i hear a lot about smog
and pollution hurting the earth but what
are smog and pollution well they're like
the smoke from cars and factories that
can make our air dirty
[Music]
but i don't see any dirt in the air but
it's there tina watch this
i'm gonna get this paper towel here okay
i'm gonna wipe it on the table okay well
it's gonna you'll see watch this
okay
hmm
this dust came from tiny bits of smoke
and dirt in the air how can we make the
air cleaner well we could walk or ride
our bikes instead of asking our parents
to drive us everywhere i see we'd be
helping to make the air cleaner because
scars pollute the air right and the
cleaner the air the better we see the
stars in the moon at night or a sunrise
or sunset in all the beautiful colors of
a rainbow
[Music]
simple and beautiful a rainbow
pretty for the eyes to see
red orange and yellow green blue and
purple and it's curved like this
[Music]
[Music]
and if you look real close at these
paintings and use your imagination
i bet you'll see that pot of gold
simple and beautiful a rainbow
[Music]
there's red orange and yellow green blue
and purple
somebody told me that a
[Music]
i rainbow really know
if that's so but it's kind of fun to
pretend
simple and beautiful a rainbow
so pretty for the eyes
[Music]
it was made for you
[Music]
it's nice to see pretty rainbows and
clean air isn't it barney it sure is
tina and protecting the earth is a job
we all have to share look at how much of
the earth is covered in all this blue
water and we want to help keep it clean
too
if oil is boiling the ocean or a river
the water can look like this
just think what our fish would think if
we poured that into their aquarium
yuck we do have to protect our water and
don't forget about our animal friends
that's right some animals are endangered
that means that there aren't very many
of them left on the earth and if we're
not careful they may be all gone someday
oh no which animals are endangered i'll
show you tina
whales are endangered
and elephants
and lions
and the rhinoceros and gorillas
and sea turtles and tigers and even the
bald eagle
and there aren't many panda bears left
on earth
oh i don't want us to lose any animal
friends barney
even the ones in the meadow
well i know you all know the song called
over in the meadow everybody pretend
you're the animals in the song okay oh
boy froggies and fishies hopping and
swimming everywhere
over in the meadow in the sand in the
sun lived an old mother frog and a
little froggy one
crook said the mother i croak said the
one so they croaked and they
[Music]
over in the meadow and the stream so
blue lived an old mother fish
[Music]
swim
so they sang and they sang on the branch
of the tree
barney how can we help animal families
like the ones in the song well
you can make a birdhouse or a bird
feeder or even a bird bath for them to
splash in
and lots of animals live in trees
you could plant trees for them at home
or in city parks or even here at school
that's right because we all promise to
help protect our earth and keep it clean
and green
and this class is already learning about
growing plants and trees see how their
seedlings are sprouting hey barney i
know a story of the most famous tree
planter in history would you like for us
to do a play about him for you oh that
would be true
okay
and now the after school players proudly
present
the story of johnny appleseed
the story of johnny appleseed yay
yes there is yay
once upon a time there was a boy named
johnny appleseed who loved everything
about apple trees
he would sit under his apple tree all
day and his friends would often ask him
to come and play hey johnny you want to
play some ball today
no i'd rather sit here under this apple
tree okay
so he would sit in the shade of his
apple tree and he would listen to the
birds sing the crickets chirp and the
squirrel's chatter
johnny appleseed would you like to come
in the house and eat some cookies that i
bake for you no thanks granny i'd rather
have a healthy snack like this apple and
i'm happy to enjoy nature under this
apple tree oh johnny i wish you would do
more than just sit under this apple tree
all day
suddenly an apple
dropped from the tree hitting johnny on
the head
giving him an idea
that gives me an idea
greeny wants me to get out and do more
and i will
apple trees give me food
shade and a home for my animal friends
i'm going to take these seeds and plant
apple trees everywhere and share their
food shade and animals with other people
so
johnny appleseed traveled all over the
country planting apple seeds for many
people
thanks johnny appleseed goodbye bye
and apple trees grew all over happily
ever after the end oh
that was a wonderful story
trees do give us shade and food and a
home for animals that's right barney and
they help keep our earth green uh-huh
hey lucy i've got an idea come here
why don't you say
[Music]
that you ever did see
[Music]
[Music]
and the
[Music]
the
prettiest that you ever see that you
ever did see
well the nest on the branch and the
branch on the tree and the tree and the
hole and the hole in the ground
and the green grass grows all around and
in this
[Music]
the branch on the tree and the tree in
the hole and the hole in the ground
[Music]
[Music]
i think it's time for us to leave but
before we go why don't we sing our
special song here by the tree because
trees are part of our earth family too
that's right michael they are
i love you
you love me
we're a happy family
with a great big hug and a kiss from me
to you
won't you stay you love me too
i love you
you love me
[Music]
with a great big hug and a kiss from me
to you
won't you say you love
me
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
hello again to all my friends i'm glad
you came to play our fun and learning
never ends here's what we did today
wasn't it fun learning how to take care
of our earth today
and there are lots of ways you can help
protect the world we live in
you can start by keeping your school and
house clean and recycling cans bottles
and newspapers to save the earth's
resources
or do plays about how to save water and
other things
oh and don't forget we need to take care
of our animal friends too
if we're not careful some kinds of
animals may disappear forever
and you can help keep our world green by
planting seeds for plants and trees
i'm glad you love and protect our earth
and remember that i love you too
