No Flying No Meat

Frequent flying will leave the Earth dead. Driving cars means disaster ahead. And we must give up meat or our maker we’ll meet. So it’s settled: we're staying in bed.

Keen To Be Green

Local authorities’ love recycling
It’s a green policy and its one that wins
They want to reduce the carbon footprint
Of the electorate, for their sins
But if they were truly serious
They’d stop making so many recycling bins

show me a zero carbon footprint ~ and i'll point out its shoeless slave

but first we'll need a generator ~ to shed light on his pitch black cave

said an oil tycoon to the cobbler ~ who turns on the lathe for a shave

Premium Member Inky Way

The whole page was blank
     it looked lovely that way

    I had to go spoil it
     Painting an 'Inky Way'

    Cos' when it comes to pollution
      even poets fail

    My alarming 'carbon footprint'
      climbing higher than a whale's

Premium Member Just Retired My Bicycle

I ride a bicycle
    just retired my tricycle
  No stove, no oven, no range
    Some folks think me strange

  'cos I use the sun for cooking
    and I catch folks curious, looking
  Sleep on the ground
    all night, and sound
  up at the crack of dawn... 

  My carbon footprint is zero
    I'm a back-to-nature hero

A TOSS UP

Shall I compare thee to an elephant?
Of course not, you’re a motor car.
And if I put you in the zoo,
No-one would come and look at you.
You do more harm than him I fear,
For you pollute the atmosphere.
Though he blows methane in the air,
His carbon footprint can’t compare
To the ozone damage that you do,
With noxious gasses passing through.
But still you’ll be the choice for me.
You’re quicker between A and B
