From Hank Williams to Meghan Trainor, all of these artists have something to tell us about our relationship with the world around us. "At 14, I rode my bicycle to the first Earth Day on the National Mall in my hometown of Washington, D.C.," Bill Nye tells Apple Music. "In those days, it was all about pollution. Today, it's climate change -and this year's pandemic." Below Nye takes Apple Music through his playlist and explains the reasoning behind each song choice and what is means to him.
