Protecting the environment doesn’t have to be expensive. Even if you are on a fixed income here are some things that help save the environment. There are affordable steps that we can take at home, in our yard, at the store, on the road and setting and leading by example.

Earth Day Special Song: Why Don't We Stand?  by Pete Dowan.

Lyrics and Music © By Pete Dowan (SOCAN)

WHY DON'T WE STAND ?

1st VERSE:
You know Earth is more than our home She's our mother of stone
And we are tearing her apart.
You know We should all be ashamed Each of us is to blame
It's not too late to heal her heart
The opportunity Is here to make some history

CHORUS:
WHY DON'T WE STAND AND ALL BE COUNTED ?
LET EVERY HEART SING LOUD AND TRUE
EARTH IS OUR PLANET IF WE WANT IT
WHY DON'T WE STAND ?

2nd VERSE:
You know When you're looking around With your feet on the ground
The world seems such an endless place
You know That is not how it is Only so much to give
So much is lost, it's such a waste.
We can't go on this way There's nowhere else that we can stay

CHORUS:
WHY DON'T WE STAND AND ALL BE COUNTED ?
LET EVERY HEART SING LOUD AND TRUE
EARTH IS OUR PLANET IF WE WANT IT
WHY DON'T WE STAND ?

BRIDGE:
We wonder what's the reason Why we all are here ?
It's surely not to make it disappear

3rd VERSE:
You know It does not have to be We've just got to believe
Too many hearts are insincere
You know Every dream has its worth Let's try making the Earth
How it would be if we weren't here
Now we can each decide to raise our voice or close our eyes

CHORUS:
WHY DON'T WE STAND AND ALL BE COUNTED ?
LET EVERY HEART SING LOUD AND TRUE
EARTH IS OUR PLANET IF WE WANT IT
WHY DON'T WE STAND AND SHOW WE DO?

WHY DON'T WE STAND AND ALL BE COUNTED ?
LET EVERY HEART SING LOUD AND TRUE
EARTH IS OUR PLANET IF WE WANT IT
WHY DON'T WE STAND AND SHOW WE DO?

REPEAT......
