"living with less could be the new renaissance; the skin-and-bone child from africa and the obese american child are the product of the same exploitative food system - and this is avoidable". it's interesting how olmi revisits the theme of his "tree of wooden clogs", this time pondering not on the class relations, but on the economical sustainability of such a type of living, which, in the context of globl scandals concerning food biotechnologies and the inequal distribution of food, could be the only viable solution for a crisis both environmental and social. maybe it is not a coincidence that the closing song is called un albero di trenta piani, though this is hardly an argument for the above :).
