Imagine

Imagine there’s no pollution,

It’s easy if you try,

No smog in the air,

No trash in the sky.

Imagine all the animals,

Living free and wild,

No extinction or endangerment,

Nature’s balance reconciled.

Imagine all the resources,

Used with care and thought,

Renewable energy powering,

A future that’s not fraught.

Imagine all the people,

Living life sustainably,

A world that’s healthy and thriving,

For you and for me.

Imagine there’s no waste,

And no need for more,

Just balance and harmony,

In an earth that’s restored.

So let us all join together,

And make this dream come true,

A sustainable future,

For me and for you.

John Lennon was known for his activism in various social and political causes, but there is not much information available about his specific views on sustainability and the environment. However, it is likely that he would have been supportive of efforts to protect and preserve the environment, as he was known for his humanitarian and progressive views. Another reason for the lack of documentation of his environmentalism can be that his time may not have seen the disasters and exploitation we observe today. So, this is to John Lennon, in words resembling his own:

“Imagine all the people living for the earth”.
