Teaching Environmental Concepts Through Lyrics

# data[].attributes.body
Example from the article: Teach students about consequences of environmental changes on farming.
I’ve seen the dust so black that I couldn’t see a thing,
And the wind so cold, boy, it nearly cut your water off.
I seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down,
I’ve seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down,
Buried my tractor six feet underground.
Well, it turned my farm into a pile of sand . . .

With the loss of the farm, as well as the opportunities for work on farms, many were forced to migrate with whatever possessions they could carry.

Ideas on how to use recycled/garbage materials to make instruments

Music reflects our consciousness like nothing else. Therefore, it is no wonder that more than politicians, it is musicians that form our conscience. No matter, if is Bob Dylan, Fela Kuti, Marvin Gaye or Bob Marley, there's no dearth of musicians who brought social and political issues to the fore. However, there's yet another aspect of the conscience of our musicians that must change. Right now, more than anything else, the world demands sustainability. Therefore, it is necessary that the musicians that influence us call for a change by opting for eco-friendly music instruments made from recycled materials.

It is an awesome idea to recycle trashes to create musical instruments. We have lots of high quality and premium musical instruments out in stores. But recycling new and indigenous instruments from discarded e-waste and kitchen appliances is marvelous, indeed. Well, it is a great eco-friendly approach towards music. As long as we put together buckets, cans and other everyday objects to make a musical instrument, we really show out solidarity with the world's quest for recycling and green life. Here are ten overwhelming eco-friendly musical instruments from various artists.

This dazzling guitar is crafted from recycled pirated CDs, which are seized by Trading Standards from unauthorized CD production facilities. These CDs are crushed and the substance is used to build the Simon Lee Recycled Guitar. In addition, the designer of the product makes use of half a dozen of other materials to produce similar recycled guitars. However, the one from confiscated CDs looks quite nice.

Musical instruments the students at the Applewild School in Massachusetts made from found objects are great eco-friendly products. Since the students didn't have enough money to buy new and advanced instruments, they simply created what they wanted from rustic objects. Furthremore, they utilized trashed articles such as washboards, PVC piping, pans, pots, water jugs and others to craft a set of musical instruments, which produce exciting tunes and harmony.

Students at the Sonidos De La Tierra, Paraguay have created various musical instruments out of kitchen and other found objects. The Sonidos De La Tierra is an organization that runs music workshops and other education charities for the deprived in the country. Therefore, students under the organization have developed these music instruments indigenously as they can't afford high-end instruments.

Junkman or Donald Knaack is a famous musician; but his reputation is mainly for producing music from salvaged trashes and junk. Junkman has released many musical albums with all of them composed of instruments recycled from junk. Furthermore, Junkman keeps up a passion to saving the earth and nature from junk. The musician started to recycle junk as music instruments as he was studying with the renowned composer John Cage.

At the last year's Zooart Festival in Italy, architects Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente presented a giant guitar, which was made in help of two big water tanks. Named Stereo TANK, the massive musical instrument has a set of 5-gallon buckets, a wooden frame and some rope besides the water tanks. Music from the inhabitable guitar is amplified by the tanks at both ends.

Brisbane, Australia-based designer Barry Faulkner is an expert in designing musical instruments from various recycled materials. The one you see in the image is an ordinary 6-string guitar, which is built from recycled stuffs. Faulkner has made use of fishing line to craft the guitar that has a piezo pickup also. Moreover, the designer has also designed various instruments using materials like fretless plastic fingerboard, old solid timber and ironing board etc...

CanUnDrum is a popular musical troupe from Santa Clarita Valley. What makes this troupe unique is that they produce music from recycled everyday objects like buckets, pots, pans, PVC pipes and others. CanUnDrum was formed in 2004 and the team has been performing shows in various parts of the country. The group includes three drummers, who enjoy composing music from these types of recycled materials as they won't make much impact on nature.

This is a guitar built of recycled ice cream sticks that we usually throw in some drain. Well, an unidentified artist has collected these ice cream sticks and designed this breathtaking product, which can produce music. The designer has worked 24×7 for around ten days to get this guitar designed from 4000 frozen sticks. In addition, the ice cream stick recycled guitar is pretty expensive.

New York-based artist and musician Ken Butler is a passionate designer of musical instruments from trash. His wonderful instrument collection that he calls "hybrid instruments" at the Mulvane Art Museum is a thing of surprise for spectators. Moreover, Butler used to produce musical instruments from abandoned objects like hockey sticks, umbrella, hair clips, combs and much more. Most of his products are stringed instruments and they make use contact mics to amplify the sound.

Being an art teacher by profession, Michael Bingham is an ardent designer of musical instruments from trash. Bingham and his son used to go out for a trash collecting spree to design wonderful musical instruments out of them. Bingham's "Sound Sculpture" as he calls it is a combination of many recycled items such as kitchen bowls, umbrella base, legs of a table and others. Well, along with unique and melodic music, Bingham's designs look quite fantastic as well.

11. Recycled Radio

Who's listening to radio? We all do! So lemme reframe my question. Who's listening to green radio? And here I am not intending to the word green as a channel or color of your instrument. In my dictionary green implies to 3 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle)! Someone on our planet in South Africa is actually jamming to music and hooking on to the latest news doling out of a radio made out of used bottle tops, cans and scrap metal. Beer cans and bottle tops make up the casing of this Recycled Radio and it's held together by wire. Furthermore, with the antenna going up and down, the reception is believed to be just fine.

12. Electric guitars from reclaimed shotguns and AK-47s

'Turning tools of death into symbols of hope... (literally)!' Colombia's peace process has given birth to 'guitars' from shotguns and AK-47s, which are reclaimed by adding polished rosewood, guitar frets and strings - creating distinctive instruments sought by musicians worldwide.

Luis Alberto Paredes - one of Colombia's top musical instrument makers - has fashioned electric guitars from decommissioned rifles with the working parts wielded together for safety... as part of a United Nations program to promote peace.

Holding up one of the guitars which still has a Kalashnikov rifle's distinctive, banana-shaped magazine, Paredes said,

"This used to hit a target at 800 meters (yards)... Now the target will just depend on the concert stage."

This is an expo where innovators come to share ideas. "Expo 2020 Dubai is a firm believer in the unifying power of music"

"Filmed by award-winning Emirati film director, Nayla Al Khaja, the performance captures the nation’s spirit of collaboration, as well as the traditional Emirati hospitality and culture that millions of visitors will experience when Expo welcomes the world to the UAE in less than two years."
(https://www.expo2020dubai.com/en/whats-new/expo-stories/20181127-national-day)

Music is a universal language and it always aids in collaborations of peaceful nature, as music inspires and brings people together to do great things.

Expo 2020 Dubai is a firm believer in the unifying power of music, which is why we decided to celebrate the 47th UAE National Day by bringing musicians from every corner of the planet to the Dubai desert for a unique rendition of the Emirati national anthem.

The orchestral performance of Ishy Bilady, which translates as 'Long Live My Country', came from an international ensemble, representing musicians from each of the 190 nations that have already signalled their intention to participate in our region's first World Expo.

Seven Emirati musicians also took part in the Dubai desert performance, representing each of the emirates as well as symbolising the unity of the UAE as it prepares to host the largest event ever staged in the Arab world.

Filmed by award-winning Emirati film director, Nayla Al Khaja, the performance captures the nation's spirit of collaboration, as well as the traditional Emirati hospitality and culture that millions of visitors will experience when Expo welcomes the world to the UAE in less than two years.

The video's release comes just days after it was announced that 190 countries have already confirmed their participation in Expo 2020, surpassing the 180-nation commitment set out in Dubai's successful 2013 bid to host the World Expo.

In addition to UAE National Day, the rendition also coincides with the Year of Zayed, which marks 100 years since the birth of the visionary leader who united the seven emirates.

In line with Expo 2020's theme of 'Connecting Minds, Creating the Future', our global philharmonic offers a tuneful example of how we aim to bring the world together in perfect harmony in 2020.
