music.
One of VoxErth's goals is to help build a *ecological music revolution* [emr] with fans, writers, organizations, and musicians world wide that come together to create a storm of environmental songs for the Earth.
One way to join emr is to team up with the 140 Hit Songs for the Planet project being run by VoxErth's director Stele Ely. Check it out.
"... musicians have the power to replace the deadly corporate consumeristic mantras with loving, Earth conscious mantras... therefore, every musician is beseeched to weave at least two or three environmental songs for the Earth into each performance or EP..." Stele
All Music Fans: Appeal to your favorite local and national musicians to create and perform Earth conscious music. Write, email and talk to your favorite musician about the importance of writing and performing environmental songs.
What is music worth if our air and our brains are soaked with toxins? Give your favorite musicians an update on an issue that you would like them to compose and perform an environmental song for.
All Musicians: Contact a local or national enviro group. Compose and sing about ecological issues. Create an EP/CD to benefit the organization, for someone you love, and for a billion life forms that celebrate life. Create your own environmental songs and fire-up your music career. Your enviro music could be a great media hook in conjunction with your EP, CD, future gigs or on the web.
All Songwriters, Poets and Writers: Help write the hook for a song that you pitch to a musician. Send out offers to co-write with other environmentally concerned writers. Pitch your earth conscious writing to your favorite musicians as well. Create Earth conscious lines to help protect billions of life-forms that are celebrating life. Let's drown out the mega-media materialistic corporate advertising slogans that are defiling the planet.
All Environmental Organizations: Contact the above talent to help create environmental songs, ballads and media to pump-up your campaigns.
Lovers Of The Earth: Contribute your talents to the *ecological music revolution* for the sake of all the life forms that are loving life.
An Ecological Music Revolution [emr]
by Stele Ely at 140 Hit Songs For The Planet
This is not to say that every musician should become known as an environmental activist. But it is to say, if the deadly corporate consumeristic mantras being repeated by the average citizen are ever to be replaced with pro-active, loving, Earth conscious mantras, then every musician who has an Earth conscious perspective needs to have at least three or four songs in their repertoire that reflects this perspective.
Before technology and mass marketing came along, it was not critical that musicians with an environmental conscious take an environmental stand. It is very different now. Millions of corporation's are getting many of us to sing: "buy your way to happiness" ... "material items will set you free" ... "consume more: forget the planet" ... "buy junk now: ignore the ecological results"... "ultra disposable items will set you free". All the while, these same individuals seldom hear music to sing along with that honors the Earth and its life.
One great eco song, ballad, CD or media project has the potential to save your life plus a few million other life forms as well. Music Fans, Songwriters, Musicians and Writers have the power to manifest...
... an *ecological music revolution*.
So join the *140 Hit Songs for the Planet* project or roll out your own eco music for the planet today.

> 140 Hit Songs for the Planet:
Hello Earth Lovers,
My name is Stele, and I am Vox Erth's director. I have a dream to get *140 Hit Songs for the Planet* written, recorded and on the charts.
That's one hit song for every 1000 endangered species that need our help this year. I know that's huge -- but if musicians and fans worldwide work together, I think we can help save some of the 140,000 endangered species that may go extinct over the year.
I am working with other musicians to co-write and record some of these environmental songs. Contact me if you are a musician or writer and want to collaborate with me as well.
If you are a music fan and think we need *140 Hit Songs for the Planet*, please consider sponsoring one of the eco songs I am working on, or sponsor the VoxErth project, or another eco songwriter.
If you sponsor one of my songs, I will give you a percentage of the song's copyright and a certificate of co-ownership in your name, or in the name of your choice if it is a gift. Your copyright percentage depends on how much you contribute.
By the way, most of my songs look to be from the perspective of future peoples and lifeforms. A few of my old songs are at soundclick.com/greentopia. The song that somewhat represents my current style is 'Hearts and Hands'.
Contact me to sponsor a song and I can send you the lyrics or a sound-file of some of the eco tunes I am working on. Or, check out my VoxErth.net blog and sponsor one of those songs, or suggest a song idea
of your own.
For the life, Stele Ely.
