Environmentalism in music
- Environmentalism in music
Environmentalism has occasionally become a topic in music since the 1960s.
As well as a topic of the songs themselves the artists and industry have become more environmentally aware. Some CD's are packaged in cardboard rather than plastic to reduce the environmental impact. Recently, a record label has emerged out of a partnership with Warner Music, which places environmental issues at its foundation. Green Label Records produces CDs using biodegradable paper, donates the proceeds of CD sales to environmental organizations, and plans tours using alternative fuels and carbon-neutral philosophies. It is working to build a network of environmentally conscious musicians and music fans across North America.Fact|date=November 2007
