THE CARIBBEAN OZONE SONG
This song was developed by the UNEP Caribbean Network of Ozone Officers as part of a Regional Awareness project funded under the Multilateral
Fund. The project was developed under the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) and Environmental Management Authority (EMA) of
Jamaica. Lyrics and music © L.G. Lovindeer, Abbi Blackman, Shanaqua
S.O.S to people everywhere, we have a message you must hear.
Be environmentally aware, you hear!
I tell you the Ozone Layer is a natural life preserver
Provides protection from the harmful rays of the sun
Do all a we as Caribbean neighbour
Come let we work together implement a plan to stop ozone depletion
Neighbour neighbour neighbour protect the ozone layer
Neighbour neighbour neighbour protect the ozone layer
SOS, save our sky SOS, ozone friendly is what you buy
SOS, The ozone thinning out, SOS, come joint the three of us
Everyday the ozone we abusing and everyday there’s a little that we losing,
The remedy is not so confusing, check the appliances that we using,
The A.C. and the fridge including the fire fighting equipment you choosing,
The aerosol spray that you using, some foam products you should be refusing
You and me have to work in tandem if oonu ready oonu
Make me see the hands them, fumigants get condemned,
We gonna phase them out and ban them
O! O! O! O! The ozone save the ozone
Now all a we on a mission to prevent ozone depletion
Got to make this earth much safer for everyone
The entire population and the future generation, we working as one
Cause we got to get the job done
Shout it up and down, message in we sound, spread it all around
We must protect the ozone. The earth is we home, not for we alone
Every living thing has to roam so we must protect the ozone
The ozone layer is our protection from dangerous radiation
Anytime the protection bruck down we’re at risk from nuff things around
Ones immune system strength decreases resulting in more diseases
Skin cancer also increases cateracts of the eye never ceases
Less yield from the plant population, less productivity from the ocean
We must stop this ozone depletion. Wave your hands if you second the motion
Chlorofluorocarbons are bad to the bone, dangerous chemicals
Leave them alone, ban them, ban them from the home we must protect the ozone.
