1. Όσο πιο πολύπλοκος είναι ένας οργανισμός τόσο πιο ευάλωτος είναι στις αλλαγές και η πιο μικρή αλλαγή μπορεί να είναι μοιραία για ένα περίπλοκo σύστημα. Ο άνθρωπος είναι ένα περίπλοκο - εξελιγμένο σύστημα της φύσης και απειλείται σε αυτή την φάση από τις κλιματικές αλλαγές. Αλλά ο άνθρωπος δεν είναι το πιο περίπλοκο σύστημα στον πλανήτη, είναι οι πολυεθνικές εταιρίες και οι κοινωνικές διασυνδέσεις, αυτές είναι που άμεσα απειλούνται από τις κλιματικές αλλαγες.
Πολλά χρόνια τώρα ακούγονται τα περιβαλλοντικά ζητήματα αλλά τώρα οι πολυεθνικές έχουν πρόβλημα και θέλουν να το αντιμετωπίσουν, φυσικά για την δική τους επιβίωση και όχι την καλή κατάσταση των ανθρώπων.
2. Από την άλλη όλα είναι περιβάλλον,
πως μπορεί να θέλω την προστασία π.χ.του δάσους όταν πετάω την τσίχλα μου στο πεζοδρόμια, θέλω να μπω στο μετρό πριν βγουν αυτοί που είναι μέσα, σπρώχνω με το αγκώνα τον διπλανό μου για να του πάρω την σειρά στην ουρά;
έχω και το αιρκοντίσιον ανοιχτό και το παράθυρο για να μπαίνει καθαρός αέρας;
Το περιβάλλον αρχίζει ακριβώς μπροστά μας. Πως είναι δυνατόν να υπάρχουν περιβαλλοντικές ευαισθησίες σε μια πόλη βρόμικη σαν την Αθήνα;
3. Στη γη πολλά οικοσυστήματα ήρθαν και πέρασαν, ο άνθρωπος παίζει τώρα σε ένα από αυτά, αυτός απειλείται από τις ίδιες του τις πρακτικές, όχι η φύση, τα δάση θα ξαναγεννηθούν, εμείς δεν ξέρω αν θα τα καταφέρουμε.

Foreigner, Stranger In My Own House

[She said:] Boy, your luck is running out...
she make me feel like a stranger...in my own house

I come stumbling in at a quarter to three
To the sound of my own dog growlin' at me
I'm scared to move or turn on a light
You've got me creepin' around in the dark
Like a thief in the night
I've got no excuse, I should have known
I've got no place to live
I never feel at home

I walk into the kitchen to see what's there
I'm tired and I'm hungry but the cupboard's bare
I've been working all day and all night too
I can't believe this is all I have to come back to

I guess I'll take a look upstairs, in the danger zone
I wonder what I'm doing here
When I never feel at home

I'm a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
I'm a stranger in my own house
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down
Can't be a stranger in my own house

I see the do not disturb sign on my bedroom door
What is this sheet and pillow laying on the floor
I wore out my welcome
I hear you loud and clear
It's time to get a few things straight around here

I've got no excuse, I should have known
I've got a place to live but I never feel at home
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
Stranger in my own house
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down
Can't be a stranger in my own house

I've got no excuse, I should have known
With a woman like you I'm better off alone
I'm a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
I'm just a stranger in my own house
Oh, honey I'm home
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I'm just a stranger in my own house
You got a lion on your hands girl, not a mouse!
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I'm just a stranger in my own house
Well, somebody's got to go...
Stranger
Stranger

Ramones, Substitute

You think we look pretty good together.
You think my shoes are made of leather.

But I'm a substitute for another guy.
I look pretty tall but my heels are high.
The simple things you see are all complicated.
I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah.

Substitute your lies for facts.
I see right through your plastic mac.
I look all white but my dad was black.
My brand new suit's really made out of sack.

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
The North side of my town faced East and the east was facing South.

And now you dare to look me in the eye.
Those crocodile tears are what you cry.
It's a genuine problem you won't try
to work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by.

Substitute me for him.
Substitute my Coke for gin.
Substitute you for my Mum,
at least I'll get my washing done.

Anne Clark, Our Darkness

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me

And we talk of it with idealistic assurance
That it wouldn't tear us apart.
We keep our heads above the blackened water

But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place

And you're gone now
And you're gone now
Gone now.
Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean

Through billowing smoke that swallowed the sun

You're nowhere to be seen
You're nowhere to be seen
Seen.

Do you think our desires still burn?
I guess it was desires that tore us apart.
There has to be passion
There has to be passion
Passion.
A passion for living
Sunriving and that means detachment.
Everybody has a weapon to fight you with

To beat you with when you are down.
There were too many defences between us.

Doubting all the time
Fearing all the time

Doubting all the time
Fearing all the time

That like these urban nightmares;
We blacken each other's skies.

When we pass the subways we try to ignore our fate there.
A written threat on endless walls

Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls.
Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain?
It used to mingle with our tears

Then dry with the hopes that we left behind.
It rains even harder now
It rains even harder now
Now.
