For Earth Day, Subway created a campaign to showcase its vegan options in a unique way with Plant-Based Beats. With the aid of vegan grime artists, Subway created a song using sounds emitted by plants, specifically the plants from an urban farm that helps to create Subway’s plant-based menu.
P Money and producers Star.One used PlantWave technology to detect detects electrical variations via electrodes placed on leaves and the sounds were later remixed and overlaid with lyrics about living vegan. The track, called Vegang, shares lyrics like: "Can’t lie, it was hard at first, that's why I researched so I didn’t put a foot wrong. On the road, man, you had nothing good on, now I go Subway, can I get a foot-long."
