Deck the Earth
Deck the earth with love this season,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sustainability is the reason,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now fair trade apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Wind has no cost per barrel,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the rising sea before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Bears and seals and whales implore us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Give the gift of carbon offset,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
And think twice before you toss it,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Let It Grow
Oh, food ingredients can be frightful
But growing your own is so delightful
So get yourself some land to sow
Let it grow! Let it grow! Let it grow!
Monsanto won’t show signs of stopping
Buy locally grown when you’re shopping
Then grab a shovel and a hoe
Let it grow! Let it grow! Let it grow!
When kids use fats and sugar as fuel
How we hate their subsequent mood
But if you support Farm to School
They’ll smile from such healthy food!
Consumers can keep farms from dying
Community gardens are worth trying
And stay away from those GMOs
Let it grow! Let it grow! Let it grow!
Happy Holidays to all my wonderful readers!
Lyrics by Donna DeForbes, 2011.
