Kyoto Now!

About Kyoto Now!

Kyoto Now! (stylized as KyotoNOW!) is a student-led movement at colleges and universities across the United States, through which students hope to make American universities commit to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The name of the movement reflects the Kyoto Protocol, which the USA currently is not considering ratifying. Cornell University's Kyoto Now! [1] was the first of such groups formed, after a sit-in protest in then President Rawlings' office. The group demanded that the University commit "to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 7 percent below the 1990 levels of emissions by 2007. These reductions are not on a square foot basis, but based on the total campus emissions." Hal Craft, VP at the time, signed the Protocol, committing the University to emissions reductions, and the school is now on track to meet that commitment through construction of a combined heat and power plant that will take waste heat produced by the cogen plant and use it to heat the campus buildings [2]. more »

It's a matter of prescience 
No, not the science fiction kind 
It's all about ignorance
and greed and miracles for the blind

The media parading
Disjointed politics 
Founded on petrochemical plunder 
And we're its hostages

If you stand to reason 
You're in the game 
The rules may be elusive 
But all pieces are the same

And you know if one goes down 
We all go down as well 
The balance is precarious 
As anyone can tell

This world's going to Hell
Don't allow 
This mythological hopeful monster to exact its price 
Kyoto now 
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right

You might not think it matters now 
But what if you were wrong? 
You might not think there's any wisdom 
In a fucked up punk rock song

But the way it is 
Can not persist for long 
A brutal sun is rising 
On a sick horizon

It's in the way 
We live our lives 
Exactly like the double edge 
Of a cold familiar knife

And supremacy 
Weighs heavy on the day 
It's never really what you own 
But what you threw away

And how much did you pay
Don't allow 
This mythological hopeful monster to exact its price 
Kyoto now 
We can't do nothing and think that someone else will make it right

In your dream 
You saw a steady state of bounty for eternity 
Silent scream 
But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat

Watch out 

Don't allow 
This mythological hopeful monster isn't worth the risk 
Kyoto now 
We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed 

Alien 
We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives 
Hand in hand 
The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise

Oh 
Kyoto no

Bad Religion

Bad Religion is a punk rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1979. The band makes extensive use of soaring 3-part vocal harmonies (which they refer to in their album liner notes as the "oozin' aahs"), guitar solos and intellectual lyrics that often contain political or religious commentary. Their lyrics often relate to matters of social responsibility. The band's lineup has changed several times over its lifespan, with lead vocalist Greg Graffin being the only consistent member; the current lineup, however, features three out of four of the band's original members (Graffin, Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley). more »
