Yesterday was the Earth Day. But instead of running through the fields without leaving footprints, I spent it building this little playlist. It's made with data taken from twenty top-eco-songs charts I found on the Web: on green blogs, pro-environment networks and agencies, Rolling Stone, etc. I assigned 10 points for each 1st position, 9 points for each #2, 8 points for each #3... and after a long and exciting duel, Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi overtook Marvin Gaye's Mercy Mercy Me and eco-friendly triumphed!
Jacko got the green bronze.
This is an anglosaxon chart. So nobody put french Mickey 3D's Respire in their Top10. But I do love that song, so I chose it as video-opener. While, as video-closer, may I introduce you the most famous italian eco-song ever. :o)
