Above is a music video called Save Something for Our Children that was created by a group of children from New York City. This song was written in order to inspire environmental activism. The following is one of the characteristics Lawrence Buell outlines to gauge how environmental a work is: “human accountability to the environment is part of the text’s ethical orientation” (Rosenthal, 2006, p. 666). Rosenthal (2006) suggests that this characteristic can be linked to issues of preservation and conservation. The song that the children have created outlines a variety of environmental concerns caused by humanity as well as communicating that preservation is essential to our future.
