350 ppm (Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Three-fifty parts per million, carbon in the atmosphere.
We're closer to three-ninety, risking all that we hold dear.

Famines and climate chaos, droughts and melting arctic too.
Risking life on our planet, Oh my dear what shall we do?

(Bridge)
Living local lives will help, planting trees and food
Burning fossil fuels is out, Earth supports our life no doubt.

Earth is a perfect system, if we learn to use it well.
350 parts per million, to keep a world where we can dwell.
