A SINGING MOVEMENT

"If the movement to keep the planet's climate in some kind of balance is going to succeed, it needs to be a singing movement— just like the civil rights movement and the peace movement and all the other occasions when people have gathered their courage and spread their message by sharing song.The 'We Shall Overcome' for this moment may or may not have been written yet, but it, and a thousand others, are just as important as new light bulbs to dealing with global warming." Bill McKibben (Founder of "Step it Up 2007)

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."

Join us in creating an eco music movement

If every musician wrote one song to save the earth the world will listen....and change.

We are creating a worldwide music and arts movement that wakes us up to the urgent need for environmental revolution.

Climate change will be so sweeping in its impact and irreversible in its destructive power, it will radically alter human existence unless we act now to change public policy. And public policy will only change when enough people become aware and demand it. We can solve the climate crisis together. Imagine:

-Thousands of environmental songs sailing the airwaves, sounding out in the ipods sitting in millions of ears; playing in our cars, living rooms, clubs, and on all the stages of the world.

-Radio stations playing MUSE songs internationally all day on every Earth Day.

-Then every artist dedicates one concert-a-year to raising awareness about climate change and eco-activism. Musicians can choose to make it a benefit and raise money for a favorite environmental NPO, climate relief organization, or our Cool Aid Fund.

-A growing library of environmental themed songs and music videos for documentaries, films, TV, classrooms, school projects and rallies.

Music will help break the brain barriers of denial, paralyzing fear, indifference, and pessimism. It will raise awareness and inspire us in a way that only music can. Our songs will inspire change and document this monumental time in world history.

Help us create a Preserve Our Planet culture. Please become a patron of the eco-arts and donate to the MUSE Campaign. Please spread the word, email everyone you know. Your participation will make all the difference in the world.

WRITE A LOVE SONG TO THE EARTH

Write the Environmental Anthem
of the Decade,
a political protest song,
songs of fire and ice,
of passion, poetry and plain talk.

Write the musical score to a race against time and apathy.
Sing an elegy to the great sixth extinction of species,
for the families already plunged into famine.

Write about the end of a 10,000-year-old era,
of this astounding beginning,
of a true, wise way to see/use/cycle nature,
of questions without answers.
Of a growing reverence for life in all its forms.

Of revelation in chaos: outrageous invention.
                                                    Simplicity.
The dawn of human ecological wisdom.
Write the Environmental Hit Single of All Time.
