Zombies do not drive cars or trucks

are not big consumers of fossil fuel

So make no significant contribution

to atmospheric pollution
Zombies are not bothered by climate fluctuations

do not seek fully-furnished apartments

nor desire the latest appliance

The undead do not seek aesthetic comforts
Zombies will not fell trees

to manufacture products of timber

or copious amounts of paper

The undead don't crave Danish furniture
Zombies ingest raw brains

not fruit or vegetables

No cooking, no fires

no farming, no food miles
Zombies do not need yoga

or overseas holidays

They are not frequent flyers

nor guilty of cultural forays
Zombies do not mine minerals

such as gold, copper or uranium

They are not ready for the grave

or most things subterranean
Zombies do not endanger

species other than homo sapiens

Positive impact enhanced

by disinterest in procreation
Zombies are not vain

or obsessed with youth

No purchase of makeup or magazines

No showers or water use
The undead do not go clubbing

do drugs, or drink to excess

These distract from the flesh

of a zombie's single focus
Zombies will not argue

over politics or religion

Nor bombard landscapes

with weaponry and opinion
No concept of wealth

No envy over size of  TV

Zombies are not concerned

with the global economy
Zombies walk more gently

than fast-paced humans

It's just their need for brains

that instils a bad reputation
