My all time favourite song about the environment is by Tom Paxton - called "Whose Garden Was This" - he wrote it over 30 years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes because it is so relevant today.
Here are just a few lines...
Whose garden was this
It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers
I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one.
Whose grey sky was this
Or was it a blue one
Nights there were breezes
I've heard records of breezes
and I'd love to have felt one...
What is the a song that does it for you and remind you of just what a mess we are making ouf our planet and perhaps inspiring you to do something about it.

Endangered Species - Megadeth
Endangered species caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage is set, now pay the price
An ego boost, don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned
The hunt is canned
CHORUS
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, thisis the countdown to extinction
Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and trophy oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt and take your turn
Liars anagram is "lairs"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous
So courageous
CHORUS
One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet forever
And the rate is accelerating
CHORUS
Endangered Species - Sepultura
Life !!
The struggle to survive
Crawling, ragin
Feed the hate inside
Are we going to see another day ?
Are we going to make it all the way ?
Are we going to see the light of day ?
Are we going to make it till the end ?
Rise !!
Bad moon rise
Another war, another crime
End in sight
Bleak !!
Why & what the **** ?!?
Shut your mouth, shut your mind, this the way
You're just another prey
Is that what we've became ??
RISE ! [8x]
Are we going to see another day ?
Are we going to make it all the way ?
Are we going to see the light of day ?
Are we going to make it till the end ?
Endangered Species [3 x]
Is that what we've became ??

I like the song "Don't kill the World" I think it was Boney M singing it, it made a huge impact on me when I heard it the first time
