"Now is the Time" Song
More
on Song, Composer, Lyrics, Campaign
Our cause at StarSports.org is to promote literacy of
sustainability challenges and engagement in solutions
through sports messaging. Culturally, sports and environmentalism
have not been on the same planet. This song helps bring
them together thanks to the willingness of the composer,
Troy Lush, to help us adapt it specifically to our needs.
Star Sports took advantage of the song to help make it
new, cool and ordinary for sports teams to
be proud of the environmental and sustainability work
their schools are doing.
Our call to action for our audiences is simple: look around,
take notice. There's a lot going on on college campuses
about this energy and environment thing.
Indications are that this 60 second spot featuring Troy
Lush's song is going to have a lot of impact, especially
in terms of making it OK for sports to be on the right
side of a sustainable future.
How can your school or cause use the song? Each and every
version of the song can help pro-social and pro-environmental
causes get attention and call people to action. That's
the plan. Click
here to learn more about the song and how to use it
to promote your organization or school's cause.
In support for "Now is the Time",
Will Duggan, Star Sports
