Recorded for Amanda Ward's Contemporary World Issues class, 2007

lyrics

You know the way we are living
It's really heating up the Earth
It's clogging up the atmosphere, burning up the stratosphere
Decide what the future's really worth

You know it's clear there's a problem
A solution is in sight
To create the solution, we'll need a revolution
And it won't be overnight

So ask me how can we do it
Oh do you really want to know?
It may take sacrifice, if you wanna keep the ice
Or the gleaming, glistening snow

Chorus:
Take responsibility individually
Setting an example is definitely the first step
Think of it as voting for a healthy Earth
Learn all the plans for efficiency
Try not to waste and never use too much
It's worth your time to shrink that footprint
It's worth your time to shrink that footprint

Here on the island, we can't let the water rise
Not even by an inch or two
We've gotta stop the warming, we all have heard the warning
It's time to prove what we can do

Evaluate your methods of transportation
Carpool, walk, go hybrid, or take the bus
Conserve electricity, try to change our history
Make the age of pollution what once was

For years the truth was so inconvenient
Hidden behind the questions and lies
But now we are learning, I hope we won't be burning
As all of us start writing alibis

Chorus:
Take responsibility individually
Setting an example is definitely the first step
Think of it as voting for a healthy Earth
Learn all the plans for efficiency
Try not to waste and never use too much
It's worth your time to shrink that footprint
It's worth your time to shrink that footprint
