The most eco-chic clubs offer everything from dance floors that generate electricity to stationary bikes that power the DJ booth. The rest have barely tapped the keg, using recycled goods and energy efficient lighting. Sun-Sentinel | Previous
what worries me the most about all this is that green movement is going to be gone as all trends go away and be forgatten. and, we will be back to good old days of irresponsible living and consuming as ever.
i don't know why everything has to become a 'trend.' i guess it has to do directly with how the capitalist engine works, and mode of demand/production/profits/discard and repeat.
sort of like capitalism can't work with modesty.
i might sound like a conspiracy theorist but i really think there are some forces trying all they can to make responsible living as rediculous as possible because it (sustainable life) is ultimately anti consumerist in its core, a death sentence to capitalist production.
just some thoughts...
Personally I am struck by the irony of disposable club culture adopting sustainable living. It is one of the last communities that will embrace less consumption.
