Transcript: Soccer Ball
In an animation, a garbologist with brown hair and a brown beard drives a small truck through a garbage dump. The truck's roof has a propeller and a solar panel. A wide broom is on the truck's underside. On the side are a tool panel, a vacuum hose, a garbage bin, recycling bins for food and electronic waste, and a blue bin for paper, cans, and bottles.
[Upbeat music plays, tires screeching]
The garbologist says, YOU WANNA KNOW A SECRET? SOME OF THE BEST STORIES CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR STINKY, SLIMY, ROTTEN TRASH. DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK THIS OUT!
The truck takes off. Smiling garbage gathers.
Title: Garbology.
[Whirring, upbeat music continues]
The garbologist lands his truck in a backyard. A soccer ball bounces to him and he bounces the ball off his head.
[Whirring, thumping, birds chirping]
The garbologist says, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE SOCCER BALL. TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF.
The soccer ball says, SINCE I CAN'T BE EASILY RECYCLED, MY STORY IS ALL ABOUT BEING REUSED. MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE STARTED IN PAKISTAN, WHICH MAKES 70 PERCENT OF THE 40 MILLION SOCCER BALLS THAT ARE MADE EVERY YEAR.
A map shows the shape of Pakistan. Soccer balls appear and cover it.
[Popping]
The soccer ball says, JUST AS IT TAKES MUCH ENERGY TO PLAY SOCCER, IT TAKES MUCH ENERGY TO MAKE A SOCCER BALL. I WAS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC, RUBBER, COTTON, AND LEATHER,
A plastic cup, rubber tires, cotton batting, and a leather shoe appear around a soccer ball. Four factories appear on the Earth, emitting thick grey smoke.
[Whooshing, banging]
The soccer ball continues, PARTS THAT CAME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND CAUSED LOTS OF POLLUTION - NOT SO BEAUTIFUL. AFTER I WAS MADE, I TRAVELLED TO ITALY WHERE I SPENT MOST OF MY CAREER PLAYING IN A SOCCER ACADEMY. BEAUTIFUL.
On a map, the smiling soccer ball moves on a dotted line from Pakistan to Italy.
[Airplane whooshing]
The soccer ball says, WHEN THEY DECIDED MY PLAYING DAYS WERE DONE, THEY PUT ME IN A STORAGE CUPBOARD.
The soccer ball bounces into a cupboard and the door slams behind it.
[Thumping, banging, clanking, soccer ball gasping]
The soccer ball says, I THOUGHT THIS DARK AND DUSTY PLACE WAS TO BE MY FATE FOREVER. NOT SO BEAUTIFUL. BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED. I WAS DONATED TO A FAMILY IN NIGERIA.
On the map, the soccer ball moves on a dotted line from Italy to Nigeria.
[Creaking, whooshing]
The soccer ball says, I BECAME BEST FRIENDS WITH A BOY NAMED AYOFEMI. WE WERE INSEPARABLE. SO, SO BEAUTIFUL!
Ayofemi kicks the soccer ball from foot to foot. On the map, the soccer ball moves on a dotted line from Nigeria to Canada.
[Creaking, whooshing]
[Thumping]
The soccer ball says, AND WHEN AYOFEMI AND HIS FAMILY MOVED TO CANADA, HE TOOK ME WITH HIM!
Ayofemi kicks the soccer ball to his friend.
[Thumping, shouting]
The soccer ball says, I SPENT A NUMBER OF YEARS IN HIS NEW BACKYARD, BRINGING HIM AND HIS FRIENDS MUCH JOY. HE TOOK GOOD CARE OF ME, KEPT ME INFLATED, PLAYED WITH ME ON SOFT SURFACES LIKE GRASS, AND NEVER LEFT ME OUT IN THE RAIN.
Ayofemi inflates the soccer ball and kicks the ball across his backyard. In the rain, Ayofemi picks up his ball.
[Whooshing, thumping, rain pitters, rustling footsteps]
The soccer ball says, AYOFEMI HAS GROWN UP TO BECOME A STAR SOCCER PLAYER. I AM SO PROUD OF HIM. MY PLAYING DAYS ARE OVER, BUT I'M USING THIS TIME TO GET CLOSE TO NATURE. LOOK. I'M A FLOWERPOT!
The soccer ball bounces onto the garbologist’s truck. A mechanical arm cuts the top off the ball and puts in flowers.
[Whirring]
The garbologist says, LOOKING GOOD! REMEMBER, KIDS: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
[Upbeat music plays]
He jumps into his truck.
[Grunting]
The garbologist says, SMELL YOU LATER.
[Whirring]
