Remember the Number: 350

Technicolor lights metallic noises split my neurons

Naked rocks replacing people's grass lawns

Thin glacier crumbling under polar bear's weight

You hear a voice rising from the carbon emission's cry:

"Put me under 350..."



" do I care?" Asked a human.

Like a cold chainsaw showing no emotions to the falling trees

Like a  slaughter  house thinking farm animals are amino acids anyways.

Carbon footprint is never calculated in all its facets

Let me tell you, man, the message is urgent!



Party all night watching my favorite football team

Ignore Co2 that overtakes the planet life

Why worry about acid clouds tinting the sky

As long as you can turn on your wifi?

Hey, Wake up guys, our earth is at stake!


Don't think that Martian life is in the planning

Still earth is where we dwelling 

Oil and coal, two big monsters still on the loose

Solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear 

the future is ours to choose.



Do you ever know or remember the number 350??  It's  the most important number in the world !!


**  The UPPER SAFETY LIMIT for CO2 is 350 atmospheric parts per million (ppm)

**  Current CO2 level worldwide is close to 400 ppm and still going up!!!

**  I Support univercity decisions of divestment from the fossil fuel companies, and support California water conservation.
