COMPOST feat. DiorNoel - A Portrait of the NYC Composting Community

“Compost”, the new single from eco-rappers

Nate and Hila, breaks down how we can recycle our organic waste, and why it is so important for the future of our communities and our planet. The song also features a guest appearance from Bronx rapper, compost master, and activist DiorNoel.

 

The music video documents New York City’s vibrant compost scene, showcasing community compost sites across the five boroughs. The NYC compost program has recently been defunded and some of its most crucial sites are being evicted. This compost anthem responds to that crisis and provides a catchy, warm-hearted introduction to the fundamentals of transforming food scraps into soil.

The video features community compost sites and composters of NYC

Plastic Free July 2020: PSA

It's #PlasticFreeJuly! A month dedicated to raising awareness of single-use plastics, in which we commit to not purchasing them. Only 9% of the plastic thats ever been created gets recycled. The rest of it is polluting our water, our soil, and destroying ecosystems. Also, plastic doesn't fully recycle, it "down-cycles" and pollutes in the process. Plastic doesn't break down, so once it's created it's with us for a very very long time. Plastic is a known endocrine disruptor. composed of hydro carbon chains made from oil. Deciding to go Plastic-Free or Zero-Waste can be a great personal practice. But if all you're doing in your environmental activism is buying lots of new plastic-free gear and taking instagram photos, You're missing the fact that many people do not have access to zero-waste, organic, plastic free goods. That needs to change. Also should out to all the angels who are distributing water at protests and marches. It's not about boycotting Poland Spring at the cost of not having water for protests, it's about simultaneously advocating for public water stations all over the city, for making sure water is always accessible and free. Those most effected by pollution and environmental crimes are black and brown people, the environmental movement began and will be lead by black and indigenous people. We need to support the fight for environmental justice actively. 💚It is not enough to be isolated in your own personal environmental justice journey.💚 This year we are joining @plasticfreejuly in this summertime call to action. Current events have caused disruptions in many of our lives and routines of late; so we made this video to demonstrate that zero-waste and plastic-free practices are still doable in this era, and that in fact they're more important than ever. Music: Mr Lucky by De Wolfe Music, from Sounds of the Supermarket, 1975 -- check it out, the whole album is a gem. #ecology #environmentalism #plastic #zerowaste #protests #covid19 #currentevents #plasticfreejuly #plasticfree #bringyourowncup #bringyourownbottle #resuables

Sorry if it’s hard to face All was one yet nothing, till the spread of a crack From which the uni-turd emerges till it all flushes back We’re ass kabob asstronaughts, and we all have to ask Was it god that first dropped us, or some random ass? Time’s a long log, linked without suture From the ass of the past to the mouth of the future The old poops out the new, till the new poops the newer The used is the user, the produced the producer It’s doo-doo: what you do’s done to you, the doer The universe is you and you’re a beautiful pooper Universal manure — and you’re what it’s poop is But you nourish it in turn — you are poop with a purpose Keep your shit Reap your shit Eat your shit Be your shit We are shit, we’re people shit Eat shit, be at peace with it See to shit Keep your shit Heap your your shit Heat your shit Eco shit, don’t ego trip Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit Eat that shit Be that shit He that shit She that shit I eat my shit You eat you’re shit? I eat my shit That’s some shit Eat that shit Be that shit He that shit She that shit I eat my shit You eat you’re shit? I eat my shit That’s some shit Infinite shit has happened Shit will happen in its wake And in the end the shit you take is equal to the shit you make Keep your shit Reap your shit Eat your shit Be your shit We are shit, we’re people shit Eat shit, be at peace with it See to shit Keep your shit Heap your your shit Heat your shit Eco shit, don’t ego trip Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit Keep your shit Reap your shit Eat your shit Be your shit We are shit, we’re people shit Eat shit, be at peace with it See to shit Keep your shit Heap your your shit Heat your shit Eco shit, don’t ego trip Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit
