PSA from me and Gemini

Option 1: The "Hard Truth" (Radio/Audio Script)

This approach challenges the listener's assumption that the blue bin is a magic box.

[Sound of a plastic bottle being crunched]

Narrator: You think you just saved the planet because you threw that bottle in the blue bin. You didn't. You just passed the problem to a machine.

Narrator: Recycling is energy. It’s factories, fumes, and sludge. It is the last resort when we have failed to do everything else.

Narrator: Before you bin it, ask the New 4:

Reduce: Did I need this?

Reuse: Can I fill it again?

Repurpose: Can I turn this trash into a tool?

Recycle: ...Only if there is nothing left to save.

Tagline: Recycling isn't the solution. It's the emergency exit.

now a sonnet

A mill runs by pressing grain toward bread. 

A forest grows whether or not it is paid. 

The powers that be complain of ledgers in red, 

Not a one of them closer to getting laid. 

The best chance we have in this capital world

Is letting in ephemeral credits of love 

And sitting true beneath banners unfurled

Seeing wisdom feeding grains to doves. 

We can't find justice known only by the coin.

There is much more in depth to all we know. 

Let us find association rights to join

A nation which lets its money flow. 

In jest I say all mighty dollar is their God,

Which leads us all to ethics which are flawed.

an haiku

Don't worship idols

Money is only money

As it makes things move
