I’m dreaming of a GREEN Christmas
integrate, contribute and be happy our gardens are home to frogs, hedgehogs blackbirds,
nightingales and goldfinch, bees, butterflies we travel fossil fuel free we vaccinate the world we provide climate justice for the suffering global south we leave all remaining fossil fuels in the ground pesticides, industrial farming and fishing are banned and
hedgerows flourish we insulate homes to be passive and snug we have fossil fuel free heating and hot water we build beautiful buildings with organic materials we plant trees not cut them down we have green spaces and peace and quiet for all green jobs are abundant and transform the economy clean air water and electricity are available for all and wisely used we watch, not the Dow Jones going up, but the carbon emissions successfully going down the arctic and antarctic and glaciers stop melting the coral reefs recover and mangrove swamps flourish peatlands are restored and become homes for curlew the hole in the ozone layer heals we share our wealth more fairly Syria Afghanistan and Yemen and everywhere cease conflict
and get good government genocides cease and people become friends fighter jets are changed to air ambulance, tanks to wind
turbines, small arms to solar panels the lions and all wildlife flourish and lie down with the lamb and your dreams…. and mine come true
There is peace on earth and good will to all people
not just for Christmas but for life.
