Transformative climate-induced album rock to light the way through the greed-driven anthropocene.
I wrote this song to support the Plant Based Treaty movement, which encourages individuals, businesses, celebrities, politicians, everyone! to endorse the treaty and commit to a plant-based lifestyle as a reasonable, doable and effective response to climate change.

The Plant Based Treaty Song
VERSE 1
How do we address and mitigate
The core causes of climate change
How do we build a fairer, healthier
Greener world for all
We could start by changing our food systems
From problem to solution
Restoring damage and generating
Health and security
CHORUS
We got a plant based treaty
Won’t you sign on the dotted line
We’re gonna eat plants, we’re gonna plant trees
It is time to realign
We need diet change not climate change
It’s time to rearrange our priorities and endorse
The plant based treaty
BRIDGE
Demand #1: RELINQUISH
Stop the problem from happening.
No new land use change, ecosystem degradation or deforestation for animal agriculture.
Demand #2: REDIRECT
Eliminate the driving forces behind the problem.
Actively promote and transition to plant-based food and food systems.
Demand #3: RESTORE
Rewild and reforest the earth.
Regenerate key ecosystems to heal the problem while mitigating climate change and building resilience.
​
CHORUS
We got a plant based treaty
Won’t you sign on the dotted line
We’re gonna eat plants, we’re gonna plant trees
It is time to realign
We need diet change not climate change
It’s time to rearrange our priorities and endorse
The plant based treaty
VERSE 3
We have the solutions in our grasp
Available and ready
We just need to make it happen
And that’s where you come in
Let’s make a promise, a pledge, a vow
An agreement, an alliance
We’ll cooperate and collaborate
We’ll commit right here right now
CHORUS
We got a plant based treaty
Won’t you sign on the dotted line
We’re gonna eat plants, we’re gonna plant trees
It is time to realign
We need diet change not climate change
It’s time to rearrange our priorities
We got a plant based treaty
Won’t you sign on the dotted line
We’re gonna eat plants, we’re gonna plant trees
It is time to realign
We need diet change not climate change
It’s time to rearrange our priorities and endorse
The plant based treaty
