American and Canadian Raging Grannies sang a song written especially for this international day of action for the planet. Lake Michigan was the site for Raging Grannies of Madison, Wisconsin who sang out in hats festooned with flowers for climate change.
In Ottawa, Canada's Capital, Raging Grannies helped FILL THE HILL creating a crush on Parliament Hill to tell their government that Canadians mean business about climate change. The song below was written and sung by Raging Grannies of Wolfville, Nova Scotia who sang it at their local 350 action. US Grannies changed the lyrics slightly to address the US situation...Grannies everywhere agreed with the last line of the song...push politicians ALL, They HAVE to take some action, don’t let them drop the ball! THREE hundred FIFty TUNE: Itsy Bitsy Spider THREE hundred FIFty, What is that about? It's all about the Climate Now loudly we must shout Three-FIFty parts per million, and not a jigger more 'Cause our Planet just can't take it - that's what we're shouting for! OFF to Copenhagen our leaders they are bound If WE don't raise a ruckus they'll waste this precious round. We really have to push them, we have to take a stand So THEY will make an effort, and come up with a plan. They love to have their photo ops, they love to make a show Pretend to limit gases, but really let them grow Protecting corporations - what a dirty deal! Let's tell them now what WE expect Let's show them how we feel! Canada's disgraceful we're not do-ing our share To cut back on pollution, to save our Planet fair We HAVE to take some action our 'footprint' to reduce Come ON all worldly Leaders - don't be so obtuse! So ALL o-ver the country, and all o-ver the World On twenty-fourth October, the challenge is unfurled With lots of bright ideas and activities so clever If we DON'T face climate issues now, we fear it will be NEVER! To see what's going on, go to three-fifty-dot-org From children to old Grannies, everyone's on board Sign on to our Petition, push POLiticians, all They HAVE to take some action - Don’t LET them drop the ball!
