Music for Earth Day
Sweatshop Union, a Vancouver-based hip-hop collective known for their socially conscious sound, released Dirty Work on their 2002 album Local 604, a reissue of the group’s self-titled 2001 release. Unlike Rush’s The Trees, this song leaves little room for interpretation:
Turning the lights green on the destruction of the Earth / It’s just obvious to me that the way that we do it’s wrong / … we’re losing sacred land as we abuse and rape this planet.
