Well that was exhausting. How do you choose a winner from 600 songs, especially when each song has its own important message? Well, we put some of it to democracy, and your votes helped us put together a playlist with a song from every province and the territories. You can listen to the Playlist for the Planet now. Or check out Grant Lawrence’s interview with Dr. Suzuki
