Michael Franti often sings about social issues and has been using his music and other artistic endeavours to advocate for the environment.

He recently took part in an event held by Envision, a UN initiative that brings together the creative community with scientists and the corporate world to work towards a more sustainable future.

Mr. Franti says everyone has a responsibility to protect the planet because it sustains life.

Julie Walker spoke with him at the ENvision event where he also performed.
