Playlist for the Planet

Last week, we featured some of the amazing green living initiatives of Canada's David Suzuki Foundation. Another of their recent projects was a music contest to create a "Playlist for the Planet." With over 600 entries from musicians across Canada, the monumental task of choosing the winners is complete! Featuring a song from every Canadian province and territory, winners include musicians such as Joel Plaskett, Bruce Cockburn, Broken Social Scene, k-os, Gordon Lightfoot, Randy Bachman (with Sarah McLachlan and Nikki Yanofsky), DOA, Tom Jackson, Johnny Reid, Raffi, LIGHTS, Jessie Farrell, Rush, the Trews, Great Big Sea, and Tanya Tagaq. The playlist will be released as a CD in the coming months, but you don't have to wait to get a preview. You can stream the whole list on the cbc radio website and already download some of the tracks from iTunes. If you're a music fan, be sure to check it out!
