About the artist and the song: No Such Thing as Waste is the anthem for a zero-waste life.
Formidable Vegetable combines electro-funk, swing and fat grooves with positive musical climate action that the whole neighborhood can get down to. Their songs containing not-so-subliminal messages about how to make kimchi, grow your own food and live a good life are loved by people from 5 to 95, as they inspire home-scale solutions to the sometimes-overwhelming problems of the world. Formidable Vegetable have toured to over 20 countries, playing everywhere from the local farmers market to massive festivals such as Glastonbury alongside the likes of Radiohead, Dolly Parton and The Rolling Stones.
No such thing as waste
When I was a little kid
I liked to catch the rain
While my friends around the town
let it flow right down the drain
But our tiny house in the trees
Had one thing that we drank
Every drop that we had saved
In our rainwater tank
Cos there's no such thing as waste
Only stuff in the wrong place
No there's no such thing as waste
When we treasure every trace
Moved to the city, rented a house
On my way to buy a bed
Saw one lying on the side of the road
So I took that one instead
And I also found a fridge, a couch
And a big old sewing machine
In the biggest pile of thrown-out stuff
That I had ever seen
But there's no such thing as waste
Only stuff in the wrong place
No there's no such thing as waste
Better save it just in case
Well, we've gotta refuse, reduce, reuse, repair then renew
Refuse, reduce, reuse, repair then renew
You can get cool things out of the bin
You can compost every crumb,
Save all the seeds, eat garden weeds
and give the rest back to your mum
It's time we thunk about all our junk
to keep our planet clean
That W word is so absurd
In a world of blue and green.
But there's no such thing as waste
Only stuff in the wrong place
No there's no such thing as waste
Only opportunity to be embraced
