Green Christmas song
GREEN CHRISTMAS, A Global
Warning
Don’t you know, everything you throw away lasts for
years
And fills up land we’ll need one day
Do not toss plastics, paper, bottles, cans: they can
be recycled and then used again
These are
the things that you should do to make this a green Christmas
Don’t delay you could get the air more clean if you
use alternatives to gasoline
when you drive take pride in a hybrid car
walk or bike whenever you’re not going far
These are the
things that you should do to make this a green Christmas
You must
reduce, reuse and recycle save fuel, the
water and trees
Protect our
natural resources and start to use, (you gotta
use) more renewable energy
Everyone check your windows and the doors, weatherize,
seal all the cracks that you ignore
Turn off lights when you are not in the room
Do not waste any power you consume
These are the
things that you should do to make this a green Christmas
we know that
if everybody cared, climate could be repaired
If everybody
tried warming would soon subside
You must
start here and now
we all will
take a bow and get everyone to take part
(you should take part), be smart!
Use solar panels to gather power from the sun
Let the wind make turnpikes spin and woodshops run
Waters flowing in and up consistently to generate lots
of electricity
There is so
much that you should do
To make this
a green Christmas
Yes there’s
so much that we must do We need a green Christmas
