Not going to waste any more precious fossil fuel on those
many unnecessary daily trips
Finishing up with dumping my tons of thoughtless but nearly
permanent CO2 emissions
No more dirty coal will over-warm my over-sized,
un-insulated, leveraged dream home ever again
Won’t be polluting 200 gallons of good clean drinking water
each and every day anymore
Won’t rip up any more productive farmland for shoddy,
cloned, convenience strip malls
The oil on my driveway will stop leaking into that little stream
every time it rains
The plastic bags I only used once will no longer choke our
overburdened and leaching landfills
Won’t be so quickly casting all that devilish chinese shrink
wrap into the closest dumpster
Wont be eating any more grains and vegetables impregnated
with toxic runoff chemicals
No longer buying food that’s over-stimulated by oil-based
pesticides and fertilizers
Done gumming pasty white bread which was watered by draining
irreplaceable fossil aquifers
Stopped consuming proprietary, sterile,
genetically-modified, corporate cereal crops
Wont be smashing glass bottles on rocks just to hear the
noise they make while breaking
No more thoughtlessly tossing aluminum cans into the gaping
mouths of garbage pails
Done casually flipping plastic containers aside the very
moment they are emptied
Stopped thoughtlessly dumping out all that so-called waste
paper I don’t want or need
Won’t be discarding much more cheap broken plastic shit from
Asia without a second thought
Had my last freshly poisoned fruits shipped in from the
far-off southern hemisphere
Wont be buying gas to fill my ATV that helps support
terrorists in lands 10,000 miles away
Not paying any more taxes to have them outsource the war on
terror there instead of here
Done kicking back and watching as we kill off the noble
wandering albatross and dolphins
Not going to totally ignore the vanity poaching of the
elephants and the tigers anymore
No longer going to let the salmon and the orcas be driven to
extinction on my watch
Stopped driving up the price of sushi that is finishing off
the magnificent bluefin tuna
Done sitting mutely as illiterate fools hoarsely destroy the
living desert surface
Will no longer remain quiet as our wasteful recreation
despoils the inland waters
Not continuing to wave politely to fat tourists shouting
from atop noisy ATVs
Finished making excuses for loud smoking snowmobiles chasing
game and littering
Wont be calling greedy shortsighted developers patriotic
entrepreneurs anymore
No longer think energy policy is in my interest despite
their smirking political assurances
Stopped believing that social progress emerges from
politically polarized paralysis
Quit swallowing the repeated diatribes of artificial media
conglomerate puppets
Hopping off the treadmill that I always ran as I looked
forward to vacations I can’t even remember
Coming clean deep inside without the help of their
evil-smelling embalming chemicals
Going completely green at last, without any overpriced and
wasteful coffin: Yeah right!
Finally stopped making any carbon footprint at all. For I
shall move no more forever
