Slice of Life 36: Earth Day


Listen Later

Earth Day gives us an excuse to execute some kind of plan on what we want to do to respect our planet. In today’s episode, once again, we are going to try to build a compost pile. Wish us luck, because our previous attempts have been less than stellar. It’s worth it though, and the actual compost is awesome.

Dialogue

A: Algum plano para o Dia do Planeta Terra esse ano?
B: Com certeza. Vou começar uma compostagem de verdade dessa vez.
A: Outra vez! Mas é que dá cheiro e faz uma bagunça.
B: Olha, se você souber dosar a proporção de carbono e nitrogênio, não é tão mal assim.
A: Boa sorte, será que não podemos usar a caixa de compostagem que a cidade oferece?
B: Poderia, mas não faz sentido ter o nosso próprio adubo para espalhar pelo jardim?
A: Acho que você tem razão, mas temos espaço para isso?
B: Sim, bem ao lado de onde cortamos o velho pé de carvalho.


A: Do you have any Earth Day plans this year?
B: Actually, I do. I wanna start composting for real this time.
A: I’ve heard that before! It’s just messy and smelly.
B: Really, if you get the ratio of carbon and nitrogen, it’s not all that bad.
A: Good luck, can’t we just use the composting bin that the city provides?
B: We could, but doesn’t it make more sense to have our own compost to spread around the garden?
A: You’re probably right, but do we even have space for it?
B: We do, right next to where we chopped down the old oak tree.
