How Your Favorite Artists Are Saving the Planet (And Looking Cool AF Doing It)
Listen up, climate-conscious music lovers – country isn’t just about trucks and heartbreak anymore. It’s also about saving the beautiful planet that makes and gives us life, and we’re here for it. Farmers are the most tuned into how the changes in climate year over year affect how they run their businesses and artists are putting their names and money into supporting these farmers who are now the front line of climate change awareness!
The Green Glow-Up: Country Music’s Unexpected Makeover
Remember when we thought country music was all about gas-guzzling trucks and wide-open spaces? Plot twist: Your favorite artists are now low-key environmental superheroes (and we all still like our trucks by the way), looking to bring an inclusive and positive conversation around our evolving planet. There isn’t a soul alive who doesn’t want our planet to thrive for future generations, and if we remove the negative emotions around politics and replace them with the positive emotions around music, you can inspire and rally people to help!
