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

“Forsaken World” by Tankard, Album: The Beauty And The Beer (2006)

Welcome my friend
To "Agency Of Hazards"
Book your own hip disaster trip
To greenhouse planet earth
Hurricane-havoc live!
We''ll drop you in, watch millions die!

[Chorus:]
Forsaken world
It's catastrophe time
Forsaken world
Hail storms and volcano
Tidal waves at coastal lines
Forsaken world

Take some picture
We guarantee the judgement day is coming
Mankind is blocked and nature's shocked
Weather out of control
Ruins under burning skies
Plus many souvenirs to buy!

[Chorus]

Welcome my friend
To "Agency Of Hazards"
Book your own hip disaster trip
To greenhouse planet earth
Hurricane-havoc live!
We'll drop you in, watch millions die!


An ironic song about the oncoming environmental destruction and global warming. People sunk in greed use the uncontrolled natural disasters as profitable spectacles and touristic attractions. Such a possibility is not far from reality, because climatic changes and extreme weather phenomena unfortunately hit mainly Third World Countries and Western World is expected to be affected quite later, so there is some time left for some new profitable business, something that actually happened in New Orleans disaster . Or maybe we’ll become altogether spectacles and tourist attractions in a turbulent biosphere created by climate change for fictitious extraterrestrial visitors from another world who also don’t have moral inhibitions to exploit everything for greed.

You can hear a song from this album in youtube
