Sing it! LL Bean Ain’t So Green

Third Act Maine’s Spring Caucus on Saturday was a blast! We received good feedback for a new slide show, sang songs, and broke bread together.  For several attendees, this was their first event with Third Act.  We say “Welcome!  Join us to help create a sustainable future”!  We wrote letters to the CEO’s of both Costco and L.L. Bean, urging both companies to tell Citibank, their credit card banking partner, to stop funding new fossil fuel extraction or face a ‘break-up’ with these important retailers.

Here we are singing along with Marcia Taylor for the world debut of  “L. L. Bean Ain’t So Green!”

LL Bean ain’t so green;
let me tell you what I mean:
It’s their Citibank credit card–
Cut it up–it won’t be hard. (repeat)

More drilling and more fracking,
that’s what your Bean Bucks buy;
to be a REAL ‘outsider’,
tell Citibank good-bye.

And while you are at it,
tell everyone you know
to write a note to Stephen Smith,
LL Bean Ceo–

and tell him:

LL Bean ain’t so green;
let me tell you what I mean:
it’s their Citibank credit card–
Cut it up–it won’t be hard.
Cut it up, it won’t be hard!
