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.
