To celebrate Earth Day, Jackson Browne has released a new track, titled “Downhill From Everywhere.” According to a press release, Browne has been writing the song for almost ten years.

“Downhill From Everywhere” is featured in the trailer for an upcoming documentary titled The Story of Plastic, which “takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it.” (Quote via press release.) The film will premiere on Apr. 22 (today) at 2 p.m. ET on the Discovery Channel.

Browne serves on the Executive Advisory Board of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, an “alliance that strives for a future free of single use plastic.”

“Plastic is a great and really useful thing, for medical uses for instance.But it’s just absurd that we use it to deliver things like water,” he told Rolling Stone. “That bottle will be around for hundreds of years and does not biodegrade. This movement has got a lot of attention and a lot of support, because it’s so visible now. It’s no longer something that can be sort of swept under the rug.”

“Downhill From Everywhere,” as well as Browne’s recent track “A Little Soon to Say,” will be on his forthcoming studio album.
