Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

 

These are a few things our council can do:

Words: Climate Matters: Hills Shire elections 2021 (with apologies to Oscar Hammerstein II)

Music: Richard Rodgers

If you need a reminder of the tune, listen here: My Favorite Things from The  Sound of Music

  1. Green trees on pavements
    Protect us from heating,
    Fifty degrees
    Is well worth defeating.
    Preserving the habitat our wild things depend
    These actions by council would reap dividends

  2. Electrify garbage
    And all council vehicles,
    Much less to landfill
    Consumption in circles
    Reuse and repair and recycle again
    So sad that our council has no kind of plan

When the temps rise,
When the fires burn,
When it seems too late,
I simply remember how little they do
And then I feel so irate

  1. Bike paths and footpaths
    Will make us all leaner,
    Electrify everything
    Oh so much cleaner.
    Net zero emissions and turn off the gas
    Instead of this council just sits on their ass

  2. Water efficient
    No reason for new dams,
    Rainwater tanks
    And protecting the wetlands,
    Improving the health of our rivers and streams
    Our council could do this by all of these means

When the temps rise,
When the fires burn,
When it seems too late,
I simply remember how little they do
They leave our kids to their fate

  1. Partner with councils
    All over this wide land,
    No wheels to invent
    Expert guidance is at hand.
    How can they ignore it with heads in the sand?
    The urgency's something they don't understand

When the temps rise,
When the fires burn,
When it seems too late,
I simply remember how little they do
And then I vote 1 climate
