Zusammenfassung
No doubt all the members of the American rock band Linkin Park have always demonstrated an abiding interest in nature and, at the same time, they have made clear their profound love of the natural universe. They are aware the world we inhabit is gradually being destroyed by harmful effects in the environment. The following text will evince, through an ecocritical stance, how the band feels the need to claim that we should take care of our environment and take action to help the victims of natural disasters. Analyzing the band’s lyrics will lead us to realize that the planet is in danger and, consequently, we must do something to avoid its devastation.
