THE RETURN OF DR. OCTAGON ‘TREES’ (BUTTERCUTS)
RELEASE DATE: 4th December 2006
The second single to be released from ‘The Return of Doctor Octagon’, ‘Trees’ has already caused a stir stateside, not only hitting MTV video playlists, it has been commissioned by MTV as part of a national environmental campaign. The single features remixes from The Quemists, bringing hype drum ‘n’ bass to the legendary vocals of Kool Keith’s most famous guise, and the incredible Spankrock who add further dimensions to the track with this twisted electronic mix.
With the environment becoming the most important issue facing the human race, Dr Octagon has stepped up to speak for all those trees without a voice. ‘Trees’ is testament to Dr Octagon’s ability to mix the bizarre with the relevant, but the message contained in the song has a serious side. We must act now to save our planet, because if we keep waiting for tomorrow we may not have a planet. Imagine if many of the animals and species become extinct, and the children of the future will only experience them like the fossils of dinosaurs. We can’t let this happen
Peace to all the trees, weeds, blue flowers, ants, bees, lions, tigers, giraffes, horses, turtles, rats, cats, dogs, hogs, hippos, crocodiles, alligators,
The Disappearing Rainforests
• We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
• One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
• Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.
• Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.
Rainforest Action
• Experts agree that by leaving the rainforests intact and harvesting it's many nuts, fruits, oil-producing plants, and medicinal plants, the rainforest has more economic value than if they were cut down to make grazing land for cattle or for timber.
• The latest statistics show that rainforest land converted to cattle operations yields the land owner $60 per acre and if timber is harvested, the land is worth $400 per acre. However, if these renewable and sustainable resources are harvested, the land will yield the land owner $2,400 per acre.
• If managed properly, the rainforest can provide the world's need for these natural resources on a perpetual basis.
• Promoting the use of these sustainable and renewable sources could stop the destruction of the rainforests. By creating a new source of income harvesting the medicinal plants, fruits nuts, oil and other sustainable resources, the rainforests is be more valuable alive than cut and burned.
