Song Sung Green

摘要

This year's recipient of Earth Day Canada's Outstanding Commitment to the Environment Award, Bruce Cockburn is a singer/songwriter and activist. An Officer of the Order of Canada and the honorary chair of Friends of the Earth, Cockburn has used his music to oppose degradation of the environment - from destructive logging practices to the Exxon oil spill. "Everything comes down to the human heart and how we treat each other," Cockburn told Alternatives editor-in-chief Nicola Ross when she interviewed him in advance of Earth Day Canada's 7~(th) annual gala. Ross' conversation with Cockburn began with a question about his environmental anthem - "If A Tree Falls."
