The band called Formidable Vegetable Sound System has released this song to celebrate World Environment Day 2015.

The track called “Limits” is a call to reduce our impact on the planet. According to the band it was inspired by the 'feedback' we are getting from the planet in the form of climate change, which could be interpreted as a sign that it's time to change our behavior. The main message is that one small, yet powerful thing we can all do is to get back to the garden and try to grow our own food.
