I'm a middle school science teacher, and every year, on the last day of class, I have my "official tree hugging hippy lesson". I have an undergraduate degree in environmental studies, so I feel the need to include something environmental each year. I alway start the lesson with this song. The kids listen to it. They read the words and then I have them interpret it. It's pretty cool to watch a bunch of 13 year olds suddenly realize that song lyrics have meaning. And, they always "get it". I also end up with a few new Dave fans by the end of the day too.
