The following selections are about environmental issues. If video at youtube is available, I will link to it here for the convenience of review. It is important that teachers actually listen to the lyrics and make educated decisions concerning their own classrooms. Just because the songs have been included here, that does not mean that all of them are "age appropriate" for every student! Be selective and have some fun making your own list for my environmental art lesson.
