Dear readers,
Making art on the edge of an ecological collapse can feel like a wildly futile exercise, I liken it the band who played on the deck of the Titanic while it slowly sank into the Atlantic. But then I remember that music and art inspire us to go on, to fight on against all odds. Music creates connection, action and community which I believe we need more than ever. Here is a collection of my favourite environmentalist anthems. I hope they embolden and encourage you to go out into the world and do something good, tell a friend you love them, plant a tree, volunteer to clean up your local park, ride a bike, write to your member for parliament, write a song, go to a protest or pet a cat. Everything helps and it all matters. The revolution might not be televised, but it will be soundtracked.
Love Ruby
