Eco-Friendly Music Compilation

Green Owl Records Puts Out Environmental Charity Album
Green Owl Records
Green Owl Records recently put out a benefit compilation CD for the Energy Action Coalition, a team of 48 members and an active council of representatives from partner organizations and program developments for sustainable energy solutions. Energy Action , which is a founding partner of 1 Sky Platform, formed an alliance with other groups supporting young activists in climate change and environmentalism.

The Green Owl Comp: A Benefit for Energy Action

The featured bands are a hodgepodge of artists so different in genre listeners might wonder who put the mix together in the first place. However, they certainly have good taste ranging from chart-topping acts to eclectically eccentric groups to unheard-of newbies. Muse, Harper Simon, Citizens Band, Of Montreal, School of Seven Bells, Violens, Feist, Bloc Party, Deerhoof, The Exit and The Appletrees all show up on the 16 tracks of the first disc. The second disc features a DVD component containing video footage of Billy Parish from Energy Action, 6 music videos and bonus tracks from CSS and A Place to Bury Strangers.

Green Owl has 100% recycled packaging and understands the need for more enviro-friendly music practices, such as getting people to recycle plastic jewel cases and keep them out of landfills. So while this music collection may seem a bit disparate, it’s still got some good tunes and a charitable cause.

Look at the list of tracks on the CD, available at Whole Foods Market.
