Enough gas-bagging. So maybe planting trees alone isn't enough- but it's not a 'bad' thing to do- It has a net 'positive effect'. So please could we all shut up- the strategists can go off and get busy coming up with ideas and the rest of us can crack on with one of the most obvious and beneficial activities we have...?

Yeah... rant over....

lyrics

Stuck in another conversation,
about which strategy will work.
A whole lot of aggravation,
and a tonne of needless talk.

Just shut your mouth and plant a tree, yeah
just shut your mouth and plant a tree
the response is clear to see,
shut your mouth and plant a tree.

Another corpporate presentation
precious oxygen wasted
another stack of printed documents
needless words evaporated.

Just shut your mouth and plant a tree, yeah
Just shut your mouth and plant a tree
the response is clear to see,
shut your mouth and plant a tree

So if you're a consumer,
live and move and breathe and eat.
Save yourself the respiration,
get some fresh earth beneath your feet.

Just shut your mouth and plant a tree, yeah
just shut your mouth and plant a tree
the response is clear to see,
shut your mouth and plant a tree.

Though men may say that it's too late
Yeah though they say our fate is sealed
I would rather make a change
And work toward a world that's healed.

Just shut your mouth and plant a tree, yeah
just shut your mouth and plant a tree
the response is clear to see
shut your mouth and plant a tree.
