国連環境計画が提唱するInternational Day of Zero Waste (国際ゴミZero Day)に際して、大地の種はゴミZeroキャンペーンソングを作曲し、UNEP のInternational Day of Zero Waste Activityに登録しました。(2024年3月25日)
大地の種がUNEPのゴミゼロデーに関わるアクションを起こすことが決まり、
何が自分にとってリアルなのか考えました。
ゴミゼロってどういうことを言うんだろう?
ゴミゼロになったらどう社会は変わるのだろう?
どうやってそれをするのだろう?
自分の生活の中でゴミは出ている現状。
すぐには実現できないかもしれない。
ゴミを拾うことでゴミというものに意識が向く。
一億人が拾えば、その中で誰かが素敵なアイデアを出すかもしれない。
そうだ鼻歌混じりで小躍りしながらゴミ拾いしちゃえるような曲を作ろう。
作りましたよ。
2024年3月24日に完成!出来たてホヤホヤの新曲をどうぞ!!
ゆくゆくは宇宙に捨てているゴミ、スペースデブリにも人々が関心を持てば良いな。
On the occasion of the International Day of Zero Waste proposed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Seeds of the Earth composed the Zero Waste Campaign Song and registered it with UNEP’s International Day of Zero Waste Activity.
