Trope

Films - Animation
Plant a seed inside the Earth.
Just one way to know it's worth.
Let's celebrate the world's rebirth.
We say let it grow.

Live-Action TV

We're very keen to be green.
What that means
Is we care about the world, and soon
You will be keen to be seen
Being clean.
Be kind to this Earth and just try.
Matthew, The Sooty Show, "What a Load of Rubbish"

Willie Wimple went a-boating, making dirty water here.
Pouring stuff there 'til the gunk was everywhere.
Now if every kid did it, can't you see what an icky mess it would be?
No place for fish to swim.
No lakes for sailing in.
No rivers, no streams, no submarines, no swimming ever again!

Music

We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves... we made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass... an unerasable past...
Humans: Demons, deranged and depraved
And I count the days 'til we expire our ways
And I count the days 'til we expire for always
To be alive is to survive everything....
To make do with anything... until we die
To be alive is to squander everything....
To stumble towards anything... to feel alive
Cattle Decapitation, "Death Atlas"

O Green World
Don't desert me now
Made of you and you of me
But where are we?
Gorillaz, "O Green World"

What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain?

What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine?

Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Michael Jackson, "Earth Song"

Western Animation

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, recycle,
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E, conserve,
Don't you P-O-L-L-U-T-E,
Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea,
Or else you're gonna get what you deserve!
— "The Recycle Song", Rocko's Modern Life episode "Zanzibar"

''Junior Chipmunks don't pollute.
Put it in the recycle chute.
Glass and tin cans, paper too.
