Eco-Song is a theme album by Donovan. It is a compilation album of 21 songs taken from his catalog and described as "climate change songs". The album is ascribed to "Donovan & Linda", giving co-credit to Donovan's wife and muse, Linda Lawrence. Eco-Song is dedicated to climate change activist Greta Thunberg. The songs are intended as the soundtrack for an opera by Donovan and Sebastian Dean, to be titled Slow Down World, based on the plot of four young students in Cork involved in a climate strike.[1][2]
