Hozier’s New Song Helps Fund Conservation

Hozier is using music to do more than just move hearts. He’s also helping protect the planet. His new remix of “Like Real People Do” includes sounds from nature: think crickets, rainfall, and birdsong recorded in the Irish woods where he grew up.

But here’s the twist: 50% of the royalties go straight to conservation projects. That’s because this remix credits “NATURE” as a featured artist, which means the Earth gets paid every time you stream it.

It’s part of a global effort called Sounds Right. It’s one of the first campaigns to treat nature as a creative collaborator. So when you press play, you’re also funding biodiversity efforts through nonprofits like EarthPercent. It’s a simple, low-effort way to take climate action.

Other artists are joining too, but Hozier’s nature-infused track is leading the way. It’s a new kind of harmony: music, nature, and everyday listeners working together for the planet.

Sunset of the Day in Washington

The Canopy reader Ronda shared this peaceful evening view from Washington. Boats rest in the quiet harbor, and streaks of deep orange and violet stretch across the sky. It’s one of those sunsets that invites you to slow down and just take it all in.

Thanks to Ronda for sending this in. If you’ve captured a sunset that made you stop and breathe a little deeper, we’d love to see it too!

What If the Solution to Muscle Spasms, Bladder Issues, Fatigue, and Brain Fog… Was Hiding in Your Water?

How to Shrink Your Home's Footprint

Looking to use less energy at home and keep your bills in check? It doesn’t take a full lifestyle overhaul. Just a few small changes to your everyday habits. Try things like turning down the thermostat a degree, switching to LED bulbs, or unplugging gadgets when you’re not using them.

Washing clothes in cold water, taking shorter showers, and skipping the dryer in favor of a clothesline (or just an open window) can make a big difference, too. Even choosing to cook with lids on pots or doing chores like sweeping by hand helps cut energy use.

And while some upgrades, like better insulation or solar panels, take more planning, many changes cost little or nothing to start.

In the long run, these little actions add up to a lower energy bill and a lighter footprint on the planet. It’s all about working with what you have and being a bit more mindful each day.
