So I got Stele over here
Dude wears a fucking Earth puppet on his shoulder
Every time I see him
And that is commendable
Always reminding us of Mother Earth
In this town
It is easy to forget
That climate catastrophe is everywhere
But then, you know
The Marshall Fires happened
And then it was right in our hometown
But thank you, Stele
For everything that you do

And thank you all for what you all do
If you do something for the climate
I'll dedicate 44% time and money next week
I'll do a cartwheel or
I'll twerk for you
Or I'll sing you a song
Or give you a hand massage
You decide but
44% time and money
Add them together you have

You heard him
Look, I live in Pi Phi
Just saying, I do
I live in Pi Phi
It's a sorority house on the Hill
I live there
I'm not part of the sorority
But I moved in
And I installed a compost bin
Because no one one the Hill composts
Hey, yeah, whatever
I'm not taking it personally
But we can all do better

So if you live on the Hill
Come hit me up
I have a compost bin
You can put your food in it
And the methane will not be release
It will actually just turn into
Heat and carbon dioxide
Which is best for us
This is academic, so
See, carbon dioxide
Methane technically has
25x the warming capacity of carbon dioxide
Yes, and when you put your food waste
In the landfill
It can't breathe
And so it rots in a way where
It produces CH4, methane
Which is a form of carbon
It's carbon emissions
But it's methane
It's more powerful
It warms the planet more
And so if we just compost our food waste
Instead of putting it in the landfill
We reduce carbon emissions
So just compost more

Boulder just changed their composting rules
Just so everyone knows
They don't receive any more
Compostable plastics
Compostable takeout-ware
Compostable utensils
Essentially, they're pairing it down
They're like
"What do we really want in our compost?
Food and yard waste"
So, that's what you put in your compost
In this town
And we gotta get away from the
Ugh, I'm done

Do more reusables
More reusables
Just take your mason jar
Stick your mason jar in your pocket
That's what I do!
If you don't wear clothes with pockets
You really gotta think about
What the fuck you're doing
No offense
I'm sorry about the swearing, Ahnie
Ahnie, I love you
It just comes out
I can't help it
Alright moving on

Wait, one more thing
Also, look up where the landfills are
Because they're usually in places
You know, polluting people

Yes, and which people?
The people who cannot afford to move
So the people with the fewest resources
In this society
Which, usually, statistically are People of Color
So, your waste is being felt
And breathed
And absorbed by people
Just not you, you know
People feel the pollution
