The butterfly
Be the butterfly
Flutter
Better flutter
All the better
Fly, fly high
[Verse 1]
In the quest, do we take a stand, to understand
Claiming balance, across the land?
Effective solutions, what do we seek,
Saving our selves, lessons from the meek.
At last, first is last
Passed past
[Chorus]
Conservation over starvation, selfish salvation
Mindful of usage, you, you, you savage
Turn off to turn on, opt for the low,
Let your love show.
Aim high, opt for the low
How low can you go
To fly so high
My butterfly
[Break]
Turn off to turn on
Turn on: turn off
Turn off to turn on
Fly high
[Verse 2]
Consume less, less mess, undress.
Reducing the stress, aiming high.
Travel, fashion, unravel, smash ’em
Choosing what I do, what I pursue.
Free me to be
[Break]
Turn off to turn on
Turn on: turn off
Turn off to turn on
Fly high
[Chorus]
Conservation over starvation, selfish salvation
Mindful of usage, you, you, you savage
Turn off to turn on, opt for the low,
Let your love show.
Aim high, opt for the low
How low can you go
To fly so high
My butterfly
[Bridge]
What can I do, please tell what’s true?
Every action counts, no need to mask, ask, mask, put to task task
Minimize your pollution, maximize solution,
Realize, Minimize
Minimize your stink
Maximize the think
On the brink..

[Outro]
Thank you, for joining this fight,
In your dismay of our foray
My life depend on it, day and night.
Let’s be butterflies, spreading our wings,
For a world of harmony, where hope springs.

What I was thinking about…
Achieving “net zero” is not only accessible but also cost-effective, providing substantial savings while contributing to the preservation of our planet. Here are some practices I’ve adopted to reach net zero without compromising my standard of living, and, in fact, surpassing it in an effort to eliminate all my pollution. The simplest way to commence this journey is through energy conservation. Be mindful of your energy usage, refrain from unnecessary consumption, turn off devices when not in use, and opt for low-energy products.
- Consume less. Consumer habits have played a significant role in damaging the world’s environment and economies. The insatiable demands of mass consumption have led to the exploitation of natural resources and the emission of pollution and greenhouse gases. In many instances, it’s feasible to choose not to consume certain products entirely. Travel, fashion, and meat are examples of areas where consumption could be minimized. Reducing overall consumption is the most impactful individual contribution towards eliminating pollution and mitigating the effects of climate change. The critical aspect of reducing consumption is to cease burning fossil fuels and using hydrocarbon products immediately. (Hydrocarbons encompass plastics, polymers, petroleum, and natural gas.)
What Can I Do?
All the above are actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a fluttering butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic. Be a butterfly and affect the world.
Thank you. My life depends on it.
