Killer Compost — Sylvia Rose

Get ready for the future of environmentalism as five astronauts in an experimental space station high above planet Earth develop new plants and ways of recycling resources before the planet burns to oblivion. When a supply of mysteriously tainted manure arrives, an experimental compost heap develops intelligence and decides to take drastic action to save the planet itself. Based on the low-budget horror movies of the mid-twentieth century, this satirical but frightfully possible story asks the question: who wants to die first to save the planet? A crew of unfortunate astronauts is about to find out. Meanwhile, a series of natural disasters hits Earth and before long, there may not even be a planet to save. Recycle that.
