Arthur, it was so nice to see a comment from you today, how are you ! I love your poem and how you use humour to make an important point, wonder if my recycling is helping to save the world. Christmas and gift giving means nothing to me, it is just another day but I do like to see the houses and windows blinking with lights (yeah I know wasting electricity, sigh) ~ peace and tranquility _Constance

I agree that there is too much waste Yet its all smoke and mirrors with some People, Elon Musk sends a rocket also Jeff Bezos & they are lauded by the same mainstream that support the envo? And if they were asked in a poll betcha they Would be strong on the environment.' I put here World tourisam tskes a heavy toll on species Who airs a lot of envo shows? David Attenborough Mr green so to say' I believe God gifted us the world so it Should be respected But not worshipped that is for God alone

Yes so much apathy, on the planet today, Bet there is loads of think-tanks in business looking at how to increase their mighty green dollar.

You make some very good points, Arthur. To me the underlying theme here is greed. Me! Me! Me! To hell with everyone else. Thought-provoking writing good for all of us to read and ponder!

I sense a "bit" of satire in here Arthur. The title however, is not totally true as in Boston.....everybody wants to be green....ON ST PADDY'S DAY.....

I have to decide if this is serious or funny. Whichever, it's lovely.
