Great list!
No eco-tune favorites, except maybe "Black Water" by the Doobie Brothers. It praises the Mississippi River and is one of my favorite tunes.
I love "Big Yellow Taxi" - especially the line about "they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot"!
Mannheim Steamroller put out a couple albums with pro-Earth themes: "Saving the Wildlife" (a portion of its sales went to The Species Survival Program) and "Yellowstone: The Music of Nature" (a portion of its sales went to the Yellowstone Association for the national park's fire recovery program).
Also, part of the sales of Narada's "Wilderness Collection" benefitted the National Audubon Society, the Sierra Club, and the Wilderness Society.
