SOS (Save Our Soil)

Ugh, they call this lunch?

This compost conference is supposedly renowned for its snacks

Another diaper? Ugh

Another plastic bag?

More bits of glass

Disposable coffee cup?

Humans, they don't know what's good for them

Who would want to eat this?

Not us

Our region's only commercial compost facility

Is finding literally

Tons and tons of non-compostable items

In our precious mounds of brown

And what you sent to that facility turns into

The soil for your gardens and your fields and your food

Contamination?

No!

Dirt creation?

Yes!

So we're sending out an S.O.S

Save our soil

By knowing what you're throwing in the compost bin

S.O.S

Save our soil

Cause compost is a circular system

Oh, oh

Where to begin?

Talk to the bin

The trimmings from the yard

And the scraps from the garden

Make the healthy soil that sequesters the carbon

It's smart and it's starting the cycle again

You can even give me meat

I love nitrogen

Circularity's inherent

Just ask the carrot

Yo, I grow in this dirt so take it from me

That a cyclical ring of circularity

Would bring total ecological prosperity

With materials and nutrients used endlessly

Now let me wrap this up

And I will be succinct

We can either make the shift or go extinct

Carrot mic drop!

Let's make some compost!

As we convert your food wastes

Into something magical

It'll scooch your species closer to a life sustainable

Remove the rubber band stickers and twist ties

So we can help new plants to grow

And all we need to succeed

Yes, all we ask to complete the task

Is that you think before you throw

So we're sending out an SOS

Save our soil

By knowing what you're throwing in the compost bin

SOS, save our soil

Cause compost is a circular system

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Yo, compost is a circular system
