    I don’t think I’ve ever heard her music, but I applaud her taking some form of action and making noise about it.

    i really can’t grasp what is special about her music/talent (except having a special medical condition that acts as pr material to promote her name, and you can tell when a musician is not of value when they invest in fake breasts ): i guess her audience is too small-brained to notice this crap

      I’ll be honest, I don’t know any of her songs. But her and her brother are clearly successful. As for the breasts, to the best of my knowledge, they’re natural

          She certainly is. Just because something doesn’t appeal to me, doesn’t mean it lacks legitimacy.

            i am no artist but also can’t force my definition of art on anyone: if her work is considered legitimate art so be it. but at least i am hopefully allowed to doubt that fact …

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Eilish, who is a long-standing climate campaigner, told Billboard magazine she felt compelled to tackle the problem.

    “My parents have always kept me well informed and hyper aware that every choice we make and every action we take has an impact somewhere or on someone, good or bad, and that has always stuck with me,” said the multiple Oscar and Grammy Award-winner.

    Greg Cochrane, who hosts the music and sustainability podcast Sounds Like a Plan, called the star’s announcement a “significant step”.

    Eilish’s announcement comes after the star criticised artists who release multiple vinyl formats to boost album sales, calling the practise “really frustrating”.

    After the singer’s mother, Maggie Baird, interrupted to point out that multiple vinyl sales “counts toward number one albums”, Eilish responded: “I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is.”

    Single LP colours will be made using BioVinyl - which replaces the petroleum used to manufacture Polyvinyl chloride with recycled used cooking oil.

    So she’s not going to go on tour? That’s the real climate culprit when it comes to music.
