Cuyahoga is the name of a river in Ohio.
It was notorious for being so polluted that it used to be set on fire to get rid of some of it.
It is also the name of an REM song, which came out 35 years ago. The lyrics reference the problems. It was one of the first of REM's overtly environmental songs.
There are several other songs which have an environmental theme to them which are in my music collection.
This one is another classic:
Earlier in the week, given the current IPCC report and wildfires blazing across the Mediterranean I also shared Joni Mitchell's 'Big Yellow Taxi' on social media.
What other environmental songs can you think of that you perhaps have as part of your music collection?
