4. The “O” Zone
Every time you spray a can,
Toss a ‘fridge or charge a fan,
CFCs and halon escape.
They float up to the atmosphere
Eating ozone and it’s clear
burning rays of sun seal our fate.
We’ve got to start now
to change it somehow.
We’re destroying a planet
that we take for granted!
Part I
Killing the ozone!
Killing the ozone!
Part II
We’re killing the ozone!
We’re killing the ozone!
Plastic cups of styrofoam
Give off gases sure to roam
Up into that layer a bove.
Then a hole will soon appear,
Ul-tra-vi-o-let we fear
Keeping us from things that we love.
We’ve got to start now
to change it somehow.
We’re destroying a planet
that we take for granted!
Part I
Killing the ozone!

The answer must be yes!
