Making Music that Matters
MP3 RadioImagine a world where children come together in harmony and song, standing tall, smiles bright, faces shining like the colors of the rainbow. Together they raise their voices and unite as one, in celebration of life, in celebration of nature. Imagine a world where children teach their elders about caring for the planet, about recycling, sustainable forestry, biodiversity and composting. Imagine a world where adults listen to children, and everyone works in unison to protect and preserve the planet’s natural resources.
It may seem like a tall order, but the dream is becoming reality, as an innovative new environmental education program sweeps elementary schools across Canada.
The Cycle of Life Program, inspired by local roots recording artist Holly Arntzen, and the late Stephen Foster, is changing the face of environmental education.
The notion is really quite simple. Provide teachers with the educational tools they need to adequately teach their students about the environment, give students the knowledge, add music, make it fun, and then watch children blossom into eco-literate and environmentally-conscious adults.
In this program, ekosRadio co-hosts Starr Munro and Rick Searle, spend time with eco-musician Holly Arntzen, as she shares not only her passion filled, nature inspired music, but her insights into the importance and value of environmental education in the Canadian school system.
