Music, like all art forms, can be used as a form of activism. In the case of music, there have been entire albums dedicated to singing songs about how great trees are, how late-stage capitalism is pouring toxic waste into our drinking water, and that if we do not work together as one humongous family, our precious planet will die with us still on it.
Sung and listened to by Nature Lovers, the common Earth Song likes to portray the plants and animals of the world as an awesome thing that we as a species must defend lest nature come to realize that we are the problem and reap justice upon us all. Inversely, Darker and Edgier takes on the topic focuses on the oppositional side of things; pollution, the greed and ignorance that propagates it and the illness and death that it causes.
Often serves as Gaia's Lament. As the name would imply, Nature Metal makes songs like this to appeal to the hard rocking crowd. Can be a Warning Song if it talks about the dangers of harming the environment.
Sub-Trope of Educational Song. Unrelated to the webcomic Earthsong, nor the book, Earthsong.

Bersuit Vergarabat has "Madre Hay Una Sola", a song that complains about how industrial/societal progress only brought more problems than it was worth, and the chorus portraying the titular Mother Nature as a woman being raped in a pathetic feast by humanity.

Sesame Street:
"We Are All Earthlings" — one of Sesame Street's most beloved songs — serves as a paean to biodiversity, and acknowledges that all creatures — human and non-human — deserve a healthy future.
"Don't Throw Your Trash on the Ground" talks about how you should never litter but use trash bins instead.
"The Wasteroon Song" is about how if you leave the tap running, you're wasting water and are thus a "wasteroon".
"Don't Waste Water" is about why water is important and shouldn't be wasted.
The similarly-titled "Don't Waste the Water" is about how you should never leave your faucet running.
There are three songs featuring a character named Willie Wimple, about environmentalism— one is about deforestation, one is about littering, and the final one is about water pollution. They show Willie doing the bad thing and sing about the terrible things that would happen if all children did it.
In "Just Throw it My Way", Oscar sings about how you should throw your trash into his bin instead of on the ground.
"Good Morning, Mr. River" talks about how rivers are disappearing due to pollution.
"Love the Ocean" is about how you should never throw garbage into the ocean.
"Turn off the Tap" is about how you should turn off taps when you're done using them.
"Pond Full of Fish" tells the audience not to pollute ponds.
"Water" is about the uses for water and includes a verse on not wasting it.

Ready Jet Go!:
"Tiny Blue Dot" is a soft ballad sung by the characters about how precious Earth is, and how it's worth protecting.
"Every Day is Earth Day" is about how Earth Day should really be celebrated every day. It talks about the various features of the Earth and how unique and livable it is compared to other planets in the Solar System.

BoBoiBoy: "Jagalah Bumi", which translates to "Take Care of the Earth", is an official soundtrack for the show made by Indonesian rock band Kotak. It promotes finding beauty in nature and encourages others to care for (and defend) the planet. The soundtrack's release coincided with the series' three-episode-special about caring for the planet titled after the song note (though translated as "Saving Planet Earth" in English despite the same Malay wording), and was used as credits music for those episodes and the rest of the series.

In the Muppet Babies (1984) episode, "Muppet Babies: The Next Generation", Rowlf meets his future grandson, Woof, who reveals to him that the reason why the Earth remained good in the future was because people like him took good care of it in the past. Woof and Rowlf then proceed to sing a song called "The Future is Counting on You", which is all about protecting the Earth.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Downplayed in the Earth Day special "SpongeBob's Last Stand." SpongeBob and Patrick sing a protest song defending Jellyfish Fields from the impeding superhighway construction, but the connection to the environment is a bit flimsy in practice, since it's mostly done as a nonsensical List Song and doesn't really win anybody over. It's also a parody of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" and ends with the duo dressed as hippies.

Epica's song "Deep Water Horizon" was inspired by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill caused when the oil rig Deepwater Horizon caught fire and sank. The song is also more broadly about climate change caused by the consumption of fossil fuels.

In Central Park, Season 2 "Of Course You Realize This Means Ward", "Why Bother" starts off with the jaded Dr. Ward Wittlinger telling the kids at a field trip that they shouldn't bother caring about the environment because the world's already doomed. Owen (with Elwood and Birdie backing him up) counters this cynicism by explaining why they should bother trying to preserve all the great things about nature, and wins the kids over to his point of view.

"R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Her (Earth Day special)" by Tupper Ware Remix Party is an uplifting song addressing the Earth itself as a nurturing mother who, while under-appreciated, it worth fostering and protecting, the music video primarily made up of footage of the various biomes on its surface.

In The Lorax (2012), the movie's climax ends with a song where the entirety of Thneedville agree to let the truffula tree seed grow in the song "Let It Grow." A common criticism people had with the movie is that while the Central Theme of the movie is about environmentalism, this is the only song in favor of preserving nature; the rest of the songs are sung in favor of the anti-environmentalist corporate mindset that the film is allegedly condemning.
