Group 1:

The change is drastic, if only people recycle plastic

Microplastic is everywhere, It’s time to make people aware

Group 2:

There is too much difference between rich and poor

Sustainable development can open the dividing door.

Group 3:

-Cars, they have a horrible impact 

smells, noises, gases are bad: we have to act.

-here's a solution to stop pollution earlier,

car pooling: it's better, cheaper and funnier

Group 4: The amount of greenhouse gases is increasing,

If we aren’t doing anything,it won’t be decreasing

Greenhouse is a building made of glasses,

what can come through are only gases.

Group 5 

Too many people suffer from malnutrition,

So we have to change our food distribution.  

Group 6

If extinction we want to fight

Our lifestyle must be modified

Chorus (refrain) 1 and 2:

Devastation

Devastation

Devastation everywhere you look

No point in seeking salvation

Devastation

Devastation

Yeah you managed to sentence yourself

To eternal damnation

(Demosthenes)

Chorus (refrain) 3 (to be completed by the Greek team this week)

TENTATIVE FINAL LYRICS

1st verse

The change is drastic,

 if only people recycle plastic,

Microplastic is everywhere,

it’s time for us to make a change.

Water needs to be cleaned,

no one is concerned indeed,

Animals struggle to stay alive,

it’s our obligation to give it a try.

The amount of greenhouse gases is increasing,

We do nothing and it won’t be decreasing.

(Chorus 1)

Devastation

Devastation

Devastation everywhere you look

No point in seeking salvation

Devastation

Devastation

Yeah you managed to sentence yourself

To eternal damnation

2nd verse

(by ITC Zappa, all together…)

We’re destroying our home

The environment where we live

smoke goes up the sky

plastic flowing down to sea

(Every time I have fear

that these things can get worse

Sometimes I feel sad

but I can stand up and fight)

We can join, put our forces all together

one little step  to get us further

Last refrain

We can make it

We can make it

We can change this ugly situation

We can reverse it

We can make it

We can make it, yes we can

We can save this little, precious planet

We can save it
