about

The small habits recommended here aren’t offered as substitutes for more active political campaigning but are simply some environmentally benign things to do in daily life. Since we last recorded it, two albums ago, it has acquired a verse about a stronger action we can all take

lyrics

When I leave the room I switch off the light
And I print on both sides of the page
I ride the tram, I’m glad I can
My coffee I buy from Fairtrade
‘Cause I think I oughta I reuse grey water
I don’t eat things that come from a cage

In the winter I wear warm clothes inside
And I don’t turn the heating up high
When I boil the jug to fill my mug
There’s no left over water inside
All the energy that is charged to me
Renewable sources supplied

When I brush my teeth I only use a cup
And I don’t let the tap water run
My clothes get clean in one machine
And pegging them out isn’t fun
But a leaflet warned me when I’ve done my laundry
I should let my clothes dry in the sun

I make sure my finances are carbon-free
‘Cause I care about where I invest
I ask my mates to investigate
Put their super and banks to the test
So that if they find that they’re bad for the climate
I suggest that like me they divest
