They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot

Luckily, the pianos are speaking out against it.

Austrian composer Peter Ablinger recorded a boy reading The Proclamation of the European Environmental Criminal Court from the World Venice Forum 2009, broke down the frequency spectrum of his voice, and transferred it to a computer-controlled mechanical piano.
Voila: a speaking (and environmentally conscious) piano!
