I am trying to make a compilation of metal, rock, hardcore, alternative, and grunge songs about the environment and environmental issues, but I'm having a hard time finding songs. So far all I have are:

Megadeth - "Countdown to Extinction"
Testament - "Greenhouse Effect"
Midnight Oil - "Beds are Burning"

Any suggestions of metal or rock songs that have something to do with the environment or environmental issues??

Metallica - Blackened - or is that about nuclear war?
Testament - Greenhouse Effect

There are other, newer songs, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Here's some you might want:

Sisters of Mercy - Black Planet (rock / general apocalyptic doom and gloom; "run around in the radiation, run around in the acid rain")
Carter USM - Sunshine (alternative / incidentally environmental)
The Levellers - Belaruse (sic) (rock / about the Chernobyl accident, there's quite a few environmentally themed Levellers songs, might be a bit folky; I'm guessing maybe you're not looking for folk songs featuring the environment 'cause there's loads of them)

I'm looking more for metal, grunge, and rock songs. Not folk really. But I'll certainly check out those songs. Thanks.
