The Earth Recovery Song Campaign

Music is a Force of Nature. If every musician writes one song for the Earth, the world will listen and change.

Call it a “Earth” themed song, whatever that means to you. Write the environmental hit song of the decade. Let the Earth be your muse.

Envision thousands of songs in every genre circulating the airwaves and cyberspace. Songs that serve as reminders of what's at stake. Songs that inspire hope and immediate action.

If you already have a song of any genre upload it to our music player. Share it with our visitors from all over the world. You retain all the rights. It cannot be downloaded.

Sign on now, whether you have your song ready or not. Let the record show, the world's musicians stood up and sang out. We used our gifts for the sake of life and all good things worth preserving. A new, sustainable world unfolds.

MUSICIANS UNITE TO SAVE THE EARTH - WRITE A SONG NOW

ER RAINFOREST PROJECT

Our goal is to help save the rainforest. Every four hours, a forest the size of Manhattan is slashed and cleared, fueling global warming. The burning and clearing of tropical forests contributes approximately 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. This is more than all the world’s cars, trucks, and airplanes combined. Scientists warn that failure to halt deforestation will mean global temperatures will rise to dangerous levels no matter what other actions are taken.

If left alone, these tropical forests store massive amounts of carbon, not to mention the benefit in sustaining critical-to-life ecosystems and local human communities. Please join forces with us in saving the rainforest as Earth Recovery unites with the international effort to halt deforestation, restore degraded areas, and institute more forest-friendly practices. We must halt the burning of all tropical forests completely.

For only $15, for one year, you can save one acre (approx. 535 living trees). To do this go to Conservation International and join their save an acre program.

Greetings and Salutations!

I just joined today, this is my first blog post. I just want to say thanks for making this community and having me here with you all. I also want to quickly explain the story behind the 11 songs I have uploaded. Eight of them are from my 2007 release Way Out, and 3 others are from the upcoming release Holographic Universe.
Indeed the songs which are the most ER oriented are as follows; "Dig It Like Dirt," a hippy hop sax infected track about the 3 R's and the preciousness of the environment, "H.… Continue

Watcher of the Trees

Destruction…
Blood flows out of trees onto the Earth’s floor.
Half the rainforests have been destroyed
I know, I’m the Watcher of the Trees.

Spirit of the Leaves,
I’m the Green Man of past centuries.
Foolish race, human race,
taking more than you’re put here for.

I’m the Watcher of the Trees,
whose numbers have purpose.
Can man say the same?
Destroying the children for profit and gain.

Spirit of the Leaves,
Angel of the Canopy,
each brother downed,
one less cure found.

Can you conceive such… Continue

Run For The Stars

RUN FOR THE STARS

There�s a yellow spot on this blue rock,
and it is jetting red hot, resetting earths clock

This is the hour of untamed power
GPS stressed, take a guess
A situation for evacuation
Watch your attitude, be on your best
This is a big magnitude disrupting all DNA

This is the day we called tomorrow
Destruction and death will follow
We had warnings and signs from all sorts of pages
All of life will be sent back to the dark ages
It will be us in mass exodus

Outdoor activities are s… Continue

"YOU ARE BRILLIANT, EARTH IS HIRING..."

Unforgettable Commencement Address by Paul Hawken to the Class of 2009, University of Portland

When I was invited to give this speech, I was asked if I could give a simple short talk that was "direct, neked, taut, honest, passionate, lean, shivering, startling, and graceful." Boy, no pressure there. But let's begin with the startling part. Hey, Class of 2009: you are going to have to figure out what it means to be a human being on earth at a time when every living system is declining, and the r… Continue

Rumi Poem

Today like every other day
We wake up empty and scared.
Don't open the door of your study
And begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do
There are hundreds of way to kneel
And kiss the earth.

Oxygen by Margo Stebbing

I breathe in molecules as ageless
As Herodotus
Butterfly perched drinking nectar
Moving air as old as the pyramids
Dust as free as time itself
Breathe in druid song and dance
Breathe in Mesopotamian cows
Breathe in African dust
Breathe in Lao Tzu’s exhalation
Breathe in worm in dark soil
Breathe in white egret circling to land on horse
Oxygen,
You are the quiet god
Feeding us all.

Does One World Perish and Another Begin?

She spit me up out of froth
out of green mystery
a watery bubble
foaming and spilling
into crazy conundrum,
gazillions of life forms

colors
that need each other.
This is what we must understand
(or breakneck pow, curse, catastrophe,
conniption, double doom dither).

For to perceive the oceanic
web of interconnectivity—
(longevity, community, electricity, conductivity, serenity, infinity, unity, immensity)
(spines, hands, heads, feet, molecules, protons, currents, chemistry, faces,
fingers inter… Continue

Shades of Green & Blue...

Shades of Green & Blue

The daylight breaks in silent splendor,
As the whispering pines welcome the dawn.
And shades of darkness slowly dissipate,
While life ushers forth from the waking earth…

Here, from the comfort of my front porch chair,
I am held in awe by this vibrant display,
This peaceful unveiling of sight and sound
That lies sprawled out, lush & naked before me…

I breathe in deeply, inhaling life,
Ever grateful for the gifts that have been given
By Mother Earth & Father S… Continue

Tree of Life



TREE of LIFE

1. Rooting down,
springing in every direction;
stretching up
wearing cloud ribbons⎯
streaming and white.

I’m hugging a liquidambar.
Its roan truck tickles my cheeks like a gritty new beard.
Its leaves like a pointy field hat all
Ruby red and burnished cop… Continue

"wild texas rose"


i
am in love
with the earth beneath my feet.

i
am wildly in love
with this place
in space
called earth.

as a babe,
when i opened my eyes
and first saw her face,
how
could i resist her?

her diversity
has been my university.

and she
has wined me
and dined me
beyond my wildest dreams.

i
have been given
a place to stand
on this land,
and i
dig it!

sometimes i fail
to recognize her daily miracles...
but then,
i plant a seed in her skin
and watch it sprout
and grow
and flower… Continue

"Holy Ground"

"Holy Ground"

On the morning of her fortieth birthday,

she woke up alone.

Dressing quickly,

she left the warmth of the adobe house

and slipped out into the bitter, windy cold

of the winter.

Nose quickly numb, fingers and eyes stinging,

she strapped on her cross-country skis,

grabbed her poles,

and swung into motion.

Gliding through the sagebrush

atop the crunchy crust of snow,

her movements became rhythmic,

her breath visible in puffs of white.

Her skis led her

through the oak gr… Continue

Star Song

STAR SONG

In my dream—there are two people
Who sing about the Stars. And I

the listener and watcher both
hear solos and duets that
describe the light mad sky
in ink black night. Let me see—

a triad of constellations sizzle,
a silver planet is high mystery
for what might breathe and move there.

Bodies animate—cities, cafes, tribes, gardens, hordes, systems,
fiery corridors, spirals, spins, spreads,
satsang summits, star nurseries, baby galaxies,
you, me . . .

Two voices sing into space of as… Continue

Being an environmental performer

wow, what an interesting job, singing for kids and adults about cleaning up the planet, and what might happen to us in the future with climate change. How do we make a difference for people? I've seen some good effects from my music and teachings, but it seems like such an uphill climb. What's worked for others? Love to hear about other's efforts in this area.

Save The Children

I went downtown today to buy a supplement; apparently I am vitamin D3 deficient. SUNSHINE in a pill. Well, good example of interdependence; the need for sunshine to be healthy that is, not the pill part.

Outside of Starbucks a man was fundraising for Save The Children. I knew about Save the Childr… Continue

350 Is The Number To Tattoo Into Our Brains

James Hanson, leading, now infamous, and thank God outspoken U.S. climatologist, issued a critical scientific assessment of climate change. He declared that we must limit carbon concentrations in the atmosphere to below 350 ppm (parts per million) within the next decade or face dire consequences.

"If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted, paleoclimate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 will ne… Continue

How Long Has Cool Been Cool?

Did it start after groovy? Oh yeah, I remember: "cool man," that's beatnik for we're not robots. Older than rad and maybe bad, cool is the warrior word. Cool is half-a-century old and still in power?

But twenty-first century, robots invented and major emergency later, cool may enter the history books as more than just the most enduring modern slang word ever.
Cool just might save our lives, literally. If we get the word out,

If cool makes the jump from adjective to verb, from opinion to realit… Continue

protecting our forest

The trees and variety of plants and animals are completely different in a naturally occuring undisturbed forest. This is quite obvious in Costa Rica, where there is actually primary forest around to hike in and explore. Even though there are other beautiful forests here, there is a vast difference from the primary rainforest. These forest should not just be preserved, but also cherished for what remains of natures own undisturbed creation, I walk through them in awe. These primary forest still e… Continue
