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

“Never turn your back on mother earth” by Sparks, Album: Propaganda (1974)



When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be tempted by her favour
Never turn your back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from a to b
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth

Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return
To my friends
To my friends

Never turn your back on mother earth
I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now on I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother earth
Never turn your back on mother earth


This song, that has been covered many times since its first release by many artists, is a warning to respect Mother Earth and not to become greedy and exploitative towards her because of her generosity.
