STOP SEISMIC BLASTING!

An Activist Song by Emily Springsteen (C) 2020

Please Share if You Care!

Oil companies search for oil beneath the sea floor using seismic air gun blasts as sonar. This practice is rupturing the ear drums of marine animals and killing them in swaths. Whales and dolphins depend on their hearing for sonar. A deaf whale is a dead whale. Seismic blasting occurs in 10 second intervals, around the clock, and continues for weeks to months on end. We are killing the oceans. The US dollar is backed by oil trade agreements. Hunting for oil, fighting over oil, and burning oil has killed our troops in the Middle East and caused irreparable environmental harm worldwide. Obama okayed seismic blasting in our waters, then later denied permits. Now Trump is excessively rolling back environmental protections despite public outcry. No matter how you vote, I believe environmental protections are a bipartisan issue. Please educate yourself and others on seismic blasting, share this video, and (ironically) make some noise on this issue!

OFFICIAL SINGLE RELEASE!
January, 2020

​Emily Springsteen's original single,
The Ten Cent Bottle Law
is available now on your favorite music download and streaming service!


​Emily Springsteen presents a playful, yet common-sense,
eco and pocketbook friendly case 
for adopting cash for trash recycling programs that really work,
like the Michigan Bottle Deposit Law!

​​
"...Turn your trash to fast cash
You see, it's very feasible
'Chi-CHING!' you will hear
If the bar code is readable!"
​
​A NOTE ON "THE TEN CENT BOTTLE LAW"
I grew up in a state that has had a highly effective recycling incentive program in place since before I was born. The well-established “Michigan Bottle Deposit Law” allows for the culturally accepted norm that empty carbonated beverage bottles and cans are the equivalent of cash money! High school students run fund raising drives, collecting “empties” for athletic departments and school enrichment trips. Broke young adults can count on a few bucks for gas money if their parents offer them the stash of “returnables” piling up in their garage. You can bet that after a college football game, opportunists, motivated by their own financial benefit, will scour the campus, removing any “ten-centers” left by tailgaters and leaving a cleaner environment for all!

After moving to the Sunshine State of Florida, I found myself gigging in venue after venue where hard-working and well-intentioned bar staff perpetually cleared their countertops by dumping valuable bottles and cans into the landfill basket. I cringe every time I see that cash potential lost and the recyclable material wasted.

At the time of writing this, 11 out of 50 US states have a bottle return practice in effect. My song, “The Ten Cent Bottle Law,” argues that cash for trash isn’t just a good idea, it’s a way of life where I come from. If you live in a Can State, you get it. If you don’t, you’re missing out on a lucrative opportunity that really works! Let’s spread the good word to our friends and our legislators, and get everyone on board! In song or in action, please promote, "The Ten Cent Bottle Law"!
​​FULL SONG LYRICS:
Hey, listen up, People! I'll tell you a truth,
About a practice performed in the land of my youth!
There's a policy, functioning, forty years strong
All the states in the Union, they ought join 'long

When Michigan voted, with foresight, they saw
The benefits of ​the Ten Cent Bottle Law
Well our countryside's fine, less aluminum glitter
Our folks have incentive to withhold their litter!

          Oh how I long to return to the land
          Where a kid gets corrected for crushing a can!
          Turn your trash to fast cash, you see,
          it's very feasible,
          "Chi-CHING!" you will hear,
           if the bar code is readable!

Have you ever wanted a savings account?
Put your cans in the corner,
Your funds, they will mount!
In Michigan, residents never go broke
If money gets tight, they'll go find an old Coke

To the states left without it,
Your systems are glitched!
In Michigan you can find cash in a ditch
In the spring, in particular, after the thaw
Lies the promise of wealth
From that old Bottle Law!

          CHORUS

Save the refuse from landfills, put dough in your pockets
It just makes cents, 'fore you try it, don't knock it!
It's not an anomaly, a fifth of our nation's
On board with this eco- win- win situation!

          CHORUS

Well, the Bottle Law works as a stimulus plan
And not just from the currency swapped for the can
Recycling consumers go back to the store
Returning their empties and shopping for more

Jerry Seinfeld established the right state of mind
Write your congressmen, folks,
You don't have to be blind
To the fact that your profits are there in your hands
Gather money, what's better? 
And clean up the land!

         CHORUS
