In life we have many choices, but it’s up to us to make good decisions. I’ve chosen to use my artistic voice to help bring awareness to the importance of living GREEN.

Recycled Beats

The next time you’re sitting around the house looking for something to do…consider pulling out some old pots and pans or buckets and have a recycled beats jam session. The more the merrier.

Living Green…

Sustaining & maintaining our mind, body, & soul are a part of a Green lifestyle. Tai chi, yoga, dance, drumming, and other martial art forms are great ways to keep the balance.

The Importance of Being Green

by M. L. Miller © 2024 neanve music

Our daily lives

Are filled with too much compromise

Too many choices

Too few good decisions

Live in a desert, must need air

Live in the cold, must need heat

Both choices cause the grids to peak

Billions of people

We all have to eat

Not enough animals or plants

To provide real or fake meat

There are plenty of fish in the sea

But they’re all mostly already poisoned like you and me

Between the toxic oil spills

The refinery collapses

A nuclear reactor explosion

And constantly soaring prices

We’re all just awaiting

The next great catastrophe

Aside from the planet warming

Glaciers melting into the sea

Birds & fish caught up and ensnared

By the floating islands of recycling debris

This all looks bad on man’s legacy

Our rap sheet says plenty

I know not of any plants nor animals

Who are otherwise guilty

If we look in the mirror

And believe what we see

It’s we who are responsible

And must acknowledge our crimes against nature

Until we atone

The price we’re going to pay

For our life’s loan

Is more than the world’s total GDP

Mortgaging the future

For an over-inflated present

With no regard for the past

This is unsustainable

There’s no way it can last

If not for you or I

Think about all other lives

All actions make a difference

Every decision counts

Every second, minute, hour,

Day, month, year

Mankind makes its presence known

Yes, we were here!

What’s next, the final frontier?

We’ve been to the moon

So I’m guessing Mars is next

It seems to have already been targeted

By earth’s most notorious plunderer

Come on Universe…restore the order!

WHO

Who first identified climate change?

In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect. In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth's atmosphere to global warming.

What is the biggest contributor to climate change?

Fossil fuels

Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun's heat.
