The earth needs attention to avoid doom.
As we’re enjoying technology,
Let’s not forget our ecology.
A Vision of Loss
Peedy’s song forewarns a future where negligence towards environmental health could lead to irreversible losses:
Once upon a time,
there was a town over there,
There were people over there,
There was a sea over there,
There were forests over there.
These lines serve as a stark reminder of what might become a somber reality if action is not taken.
