This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, and even though initiatives to target areas crucial to creating a more environmentally friendly society have been hampered by the Coronavirus, it does not mean the show can’t go on. With organizations such as Earth Day going digital this year and thanks to projects dedicated to cleaning up the environment already in place since January (Forbes), all is not lost.
For Lakeshore Records‘ part, the label has a history of supporting documentaries and projects which aim to bring awareness of the state of our global environment, such as 2017’s ambitious Before The Flood collaboration with co-composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Terrapass, and close to 40 record stores across the U.S. to raise funds for the organization’s carbon emissions offset and climate change awareness missions. Listen to their Earth Day Spotify Playlist below featuring a slate of soundtracks released by Lakeshore Records over the years from documentaries and films that focus on climate change, environmental pollution, endangered animal species, biodiversity, and more. Also featured on the playlist is The 11th Hour (Original Motion Picture Score), available for the very first time on Spotify.
See how you can get get involved at home and online all month at EarthDay.org and EcoWatch.
