1. Unison:
How many types of local fruit and veg
In a car­bon neutral soci­ety?
Here’s all the places we can grow our food
In a car­bon neutral soci­ety
Apple trees along the street,
win­dow boxes full of wheat
Beans in the back,
Green-peas in the park
There’s a busy local mar­ket full of local food
In a car­bon neutral society

2. Harmony
How many types of trans­port do we have
In a car­bon neutral soci­ety
Here’s all the ways that we can get about
In a car­bon neutral soci­ety
Bicycles for all to share,
pub­lic trans­port every­where
Cars run­ning on clean energy
Oh there’s bike paths and bus lanes
and dan­cing in the street
In a car­bon neutral society

3. Harmony
How many ways of mak­ing energy
In a car­bon neutral soci­ety
Here’s how we make all the power that we need
In a car­bon neutral soci­ety
Wind­mills turn­ing on the hill,
solar power for when it’s still
Geo thermal heat­ing, hydro schemes,
Oh we’re cosy and warm in our insu­lated homes
In a car­bon neutral society

4. How many kinds of fun can you find
at Oxford City Farm?
Here’s where you learn where all your food comes
from at Oxford City Farm.
Visiting the pigs is fun,
watering, weeding must be done.
Beans in the ground and pumpkins abound
So work, play enjoy yourself and come and join us here
at Oxford City Farm.

(Tune: English Country Garden)

Modifications to be more accurate:
'Carbon neutral' was used instead of 'carbon-neutral' by Raised Voices and the Big Choir (60 singers at COP21 from East Lancs Clarion choir, Red Leicester, Sheffield Socialist Choir, Sea Green Singers, Hullabaloo / R&G from Brighton. From London: Rise-up, Red and Green and Strawberry Thieves).

'How many ways to harness en-er-gy' is suggested instead of 'making energy'.
