Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day, Peter is releasing the driving rock ballad "Plastic Tomb," whose powerful beat and chilling harmonies remind us of the relentless grip that big box stores have on today's consumer culture. The harm from such material excess is evident in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch – a Texas-sized vortex of marine litter consisting of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris in the Northern Pacific ocean. With characteristic urgency, Peter urges us to break free from these wasteful habits, and in turn, eliminate the wake of plastic and paper across the planet.

Peter Buffett featuring Angelique Kidjo “A Song For Everyone”
Peter has teamed up with UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and Grammy award-winning musician Angelique Kidjo, to release “A Song For Everyone.” This uplifting and vibrant song, with lyrics in both English and Yoruba, speaks to the power of educating girls and the effect it can have on communities, countries and the world. Fans of Peter’s pop/rock and new age-influenced music can expect to be pleasantly surprised by the new dimension that Angelique’s signature worldly sound brings to the single.

They are doing this by granting scholarships, building secondary schools, increasing enrollment, improving teaching standards, providing school supplies, supporting mentor programs, exploring alternative education models, and advocating for community awareness of the value of education for girls by addressing gender prejudice.
You can help in their mission by purchasing the song, sending it as a gift, or donating directly to the organization.
