Pei Ru Chao and I have reworked John Lennon's Classic song 'Imagine' so that it has a sustainability theme..
Imagine no emissions
It's easy if you try
Leave the coal below us
Above us solar sky
Imagine all the wind mills
Spinning in the breeze
Imagine there's no oil wells
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no more oil spills too
Imagine all marine life
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a greenie
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no more coal mines
I wonder if you could
No needless deaths and heartache
No dangers understood
Imagine all the people
Working without fear
You may say that I'm a greenie
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
- Andrea Bunting
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- I am a sustainability and education consultant. Previously I was a lecturer in sustainable energy. I was originally a mechanical engineer, and later a sociologist of environmental technology, focussing on institutional barriers to wind power. I have long been interested in what motivates people's behaviours in education and sustainability practices. I am now studying psychology to better understand the psychology of climate inaction and unsustainability. I hope to integrate this with an understanding of political and institutional barriers to sustainability. I am strongly committed to social justice. I occasionally write satirical verse, particularly about climate inaction.
