Tracks for Trees
International trip-hop artist, Dirty Elegance, is cleaning up the environment! Code Green invites you to become a part of his quest to plant 10,000 trees with 50,000 Itune downloads. Enjoy his lyrics below and take action to improve New York City and other codes around the world.
Our earth is sick…
We must begin to live outside our “important” bubbles of bliss and Ignorance…
Outside of our everyday routines…
And start making an effort to take responsibility…
Not necessarily of our own actions, for we were brought into this world…
As is…
As was…
Society had its own rhythm…
We had to learn the dance…
Now, it has become OUR responsibility…
Through indifference of past generations…
We now must learn a new dance…
Together…
To achieve:
Life…
Hope…
Future…
Humanity…
Our world is a miracle with delicately balanced layers of life…
Everywhere…
It’s beautiful…
It needs help…
Join Dirty Elegance, and help him achieve his goal of planting 10,000 trees! If we can reach 50,000 (Dirty Elegance) tracks sold by Jan. 1 2008 (through Itunes), then Dirty Elegance will plant 10,000 trees through American Forests Global ReLeaf program…
Also, for every $.99 Itunes purchase, Dirty Elegance will email you an environmentally inspired, never to be released, mp3 track (free), created specifically for this campaign…
*Email Dirty Elegance a copy and pasted proof (receipt) of your $.99 (1 track) Itunes purchase at: [email protected]
Please include your name, and email address, for the free Dirty Elegance Nature Inspired mp3…
The ‘Dirty Elegance Plant A Tree Campaign’ will begin on October 19, and run until the ball falls…
as 5 fades to Happy New Year…
Out with the old, in with the new….
Let’s plant some trees!
In 50 years one tree recycles more than $37,000 worth of water, provides $31,000 worth of erosion control, $62,000 worth of air pollution control, and produces $37,000 worth of oxygen.

Share the moment. At least someones trying to do something to help. One day at a time… one tree at a time.
This effort refreshes and inspires— like a tree struggling to grow from a crack in a tagged wall of demarcation between the West-side megaliths and the quiet flow of the Hudson. The tree’s lyrical notes can faintly be heard through the breath-stealing traffic winds. Let’s slow the traffic and turn up Nature’s sweet sounds. If the music dies, so do we all. Nurture for Nature. I’ll be first in line.
Good for you! Someone needs to do something and sometimes it takes a bigger person like yourself to start it up!
Indeed a fantistic endevour. Lets all focus on making the Earth healthy again. Bringing life back to the natural co-existance that we and earth have played together for millions of years. She needs us, just as much as we need her. The only thing is, we’re the ones with the power to make a difference.
Thank you for helping the life cycle – one tree gives so much today and for many tomorrows – and yes we with the power give back take our earth for granted – we take with greed and now it is time to give back
how do i get involved?
