Energy Footprints

You can see footprints in the sand

Some are small, some are grand

There are other footprints you can’t see

They are just as important to you and me

They measure the energy you and I use

And convert it to the land you and I abuse

If everyone had large energy footprints like the USA

You would need more than one earth to contain them today

A small energy footprint is good you see

To make the earth fit you and me

I like your final two lines "A small energy footprint is good you see

To make the earth fit you and me." We do have to fit the earth.

Very timely poem as the gletches melt.
