Eco-communities as a social vision

Eco-communities as a social vision
Egalitarian and ecological communities, like the pictured East Wind (www.eastwind.org), are very close to our vision of an ecological society

Piece of crap by Neil Young, Album Sleeps with angels (1994)

Tried to save the trees
Bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap

I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap

Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap

I'm trying to save the trees
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap

I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap


A song about the bad quality and useless products that flood markets and advertising sites in order to be quickly worn out and you’re forced to buy other. It’s a whole discipline of science in capitalism to make non versatile products that will be worn out quickly in order to increase profits by decreasing cost of production (using cheaper but of bad quality raw materials, either for lower cost production or for quick wear for endless buying). The result is the deterioration of the huge environmental problems of energy consumption and waste production and disposal.

You can hear this song in youtube
