Unit 3 session 1

Only when the last tree has died
And the last river has been poisoned
And the last fish has been caught
Will we realize that we can’t eat money

Traducció: Nomes quan l’ultim arbre mori
I l’ultim riu s’hagi enverinat
I l’ultim peix hagi sigut agafatPotser ens donarem compte de que el diner no es pot menjar

Comentari: the money aren't everything
