Music and Nature

Recently I was listening to a song called Kingdom of Loss by Pain of Salvation which touches on the pointlessness of certain aspects of urban society. It got me thinking about how much we waste as a society. For example, the song quotes "Could someone please just tell me what happened? I mean, first we paid for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired. So then we pay for elevators, so we won't have to climb the 3 stairs up to our apartments. Then we buy freaking stairmaster machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV. Now if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will." Urban society wastes more resources than we know for very pointless reasons. This pointless waste is the cause of many landfills everywhere, which could have been preserved. Although we do recycle also, recycling is pointless since most of it just get trashed anyways due to the negligence of people recycling the wrong goods. It is things like this that make me worry about not only my future, but also the future of generations ahead of me.
