Happy B-lated Earth Day, All

Land is our future, and garbage our gift
When can we manage nutrients
that Nature can't manage?
Who redesigns things we make
to reduce, reuse, and recycle?
What materials can we use
that will renew the soil?
Where can we grow in that soil
that regenerates our product?

When can we manage nutrients
in our design
within scope of sight
so we Know they're recyclable
and/or reusable
and/or reducible
Why not all three?

Who redesigns these things
as garbage?
We Know change is the only constant
and that nothing lasts forever
So why is the end, life,
the last consideration?
Maybe for the same reason
interchangeable parts
took several million years
for invention.

What materials will renew
and make garbage, beneficial?
And it's all rubble
from our buildings
to our cars, diapers, phones.
Planned obsolescence,
well plan it already!?
Why does mercury get in water
When did these fish become poison
Where does this coal ash come from
Who created these Superfund sites
What makes them similar
to those who did,
what's the big difference?

Where can we grow
when garbage consumes the planet
faster than we can extract, Master?
It would seem wisdom abandoned us
when greed took over society...
Now, it's about
participating in the economy
What is that?
Producing quality products?
If so, then why does our garbage
kill life in uncontested strife
with unplanned garbage cycles.
Not a quality I like.

What regenerates our quality
scope of sight within life.
We know nothing lasts forever.
So what garbage will be benefical,
before the garbage consumes planets.
