Think Earth 23 EP
Julian Lennon and The White Feather Foundation
In 2023 we teamed up with Julian Lennon and The White Feather Foundation for our second Think Earth campaign EP, released on Earth Day, April 22, 2023. It features several of FYR's international artist partners covering Lennon's 1991 poignant and prescient European hit "Saltwater." The EP also includes a remix by German youth artist Joshua Heitzler (Hadron Sounds) of "Save Me" from Lennon's latest release Jude. Other FYR artist partners wrote the remainder of songs on the EP.
The White Feather Foundation and Future Youth Records shared in the proceeds equally, with The White Feather Foundation's share going directly to the emergency fund for the Save the Mirning Sea Country Campaign to help preserve critical biodiversity and protect a sacred Aboriginal culture. Future Youth Records' proceeds continue to support Gen Z artists to inspire environmental change and social justice through music.

“Nature thrives in the sea country we are trying to protect—over 85% of the species in this region cannot be found elsewhere on the planet. Perhaps the most frightening possibility is the potential loss of endangered Blue, Humpback and Southern Right whales, which could have significant impacts on climate change. We must work together for our common good and help our Indigenous friends maintain their rights to be stewards of this land and sea.”
