Plex talks about Spare Change

Spare Change is a collective effort to draw attention to our global crisis. I want this song to connect people and bring awareness that we're all in this together. We can no longer sweep our problems under the rug. We've tried that. We need to understand that whatever affects someone in Africa or Israel, is affecting everyone in the world. We've heard politicians speak about "change," and that's a good start, but it's time we put it into action.


What inspired me to write the song - growing up in Alberta, near the tar sands and witnessing the interconnectedness between the booming drug trade and the out of control pollution - both are directly "fueled" by the Oil Industry and people are dying as a result. As an artist I feel that the way I can address these issues is through my music and my unique cultural perspective.


Most of us aren't taught these things in school or by our parents - so if we want to be more conscious and make the world a better place we have to practice. Practice makes perfect. It starts with one person taking one step.


I'd like to see a shift in perspective - we live in a society that judges people for what they look like and not necessarily what they do or how they act. We should be more self conscious about littering or being wasteful not for how we look. It's hard but practice makes perfect.
