i agree with geeksneedlove! some of you people are just so infuriating. Omg she wants to sing a song about something political and that actually has meaning rather than more about Nick Jonas. Look at her her main audience is, 9-14 yr old girls. this is a demographic that like miley says hears all about global warming and going green, but i'd lay bets that 90% of them don't really know what it all means (i'm not saying that you don't know what global warming is etc. what i'm saying is that hear here these buzz words and you know the gist of what it's about, but you don't know it all, in fact most adults wouldn't really know what it all means) Miley's telling her fans that just because we're young doesn't mean that their voice doesn't count, the powers that be may not like a kid telling them they need to actually do something for once, and may belittle them because of their age, but their voice counts just as much, and these are issues they should have a say in.

I actually really respect miley for putting it on her cd. It's not as pop as her other stuff, it doesn't really fit in with most of the other songs, and it may not market that well, but it's a message she obviously wants to get out to her fans and the powers that be, and she felt it was important to have it on her cd. (or her dad thought it would help not pigeon hole her, either way it gets it out there) And as someone who's 9 yr old sisters fav song is 'i kissed a girl' i'm glad she has 1 role model singing about something that matters.

And ye don't bag her out for it sounding like it was written by 15 yr old, most of her 'Miley' songs are written by a 15 yr old (her). She doesn't have experience writing this sort of song of course its gonna be less polished.
