The following are five essential commands to stop polluting in every-day's life:

First, to abandon car-based urbanizations: walking, bikes and trains will save what's left of the landscape; sport cars are great, but in the countryside. Second, to avoid plastic packaging and plastics in habitat, clothing, tools, toys and furniture, except in specialized instrumentality applied to scientific research and machine parts. Third, to continue using analog machines and techniques, they are recyclable and more ecological, they produce better objects, employing more people: real prints and photos, real sounds, full of harmonics and not mere sterilised flat pixels. Fourth, to get food from areas close to where we live. Fifth: to keep away as much as possible from mobile phones and what is known as social networks: run by organisations that have filed you in order to profit, monitor and handle your life.

The Fifth command refers to a factor that has transformed society in such a electrifying way, so violently that we are not conscious about how dramatically the life of most people has changed. I refer to the Internet. It is indeed a fascinating technology, literally in your hands and at some point soon, it will be inside the body of many. It is, of course, developing wrongly. Internet originally connected the US Army in the 60's, later in the 70's it became to link US Universities, becoming public in 1990. It ended up as an infinite global rubish bin, wrapped and filled with data of all kind, images, and banalities powered by people's ego. It is transforming humanity in a new species of slaves at all times controlled and acknowledged by anonymous entities. (page 5 of 5)
