Links for Environmental Songs and Music
In addition to the resources below, see the links for individual items on the main Earth Songs page.
Broken Link Warning: All these links worked properly when posted. It may be that some of these links are now "broken." This is NOT my fault. The inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, specified from the very beginning that whenever a page located on a computer linked to the Web changed its location, it was the responsibility of the webmaster for the host computer to put in a "re-direct" auto-forward or link to the new location. You aren't just supposed to re-organize your website and remove a page wholesale at a whim. You have a responsibility to the global World Wide Web to keep your links working, by putting in these automatic re-directs. I do not take responsibility for any of these links being "broken" merely because they are old. Complain to the originator of the website, if you can find them, not me!
