In 2006, when Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) prepared to break ground on the construction of its new world headquarters building in Austin, Texas, citizens, community leaders, and environmentalists protested. AMD had decided to build a so-called "green" building over the Edwards Aquifer which feeds numerous area springs, including the beloved Barton Springs in Zilker Park. Singer/songwriter Bill Oliver quickly penned and recorded this protest song, hoping to help activists convince AMD to cancel its plans and choose an appropriate site for green construction.
