===Anti-logging of Old Growth protests===
In 2023, Young and Daryl Hannah travelled by train to Victoria on short notice to offer their support to 1,200 Old Growth activists who had been arrested unlawfully at the [[Fairy Creek old-growth logging protests]]. Young played a short set to draw attention to the issue and hearten the activists, some of whom had been pepper sprayed and assaulted by RCMP officers, trying to protect the last at-risk intact watershed of Old Growth in southern BC.

Young recorded "[[A Rock Star Bucks a Coffee Shop]]" in response to [[Starbucks]]' possible involvement with [[Monsanto]] and use of [[genetically-modified food|genetically modified food]].<ref>[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/01/neil-young-starbucks-song_n_7481736.html Neil Young Releases Anti-Starbucks, Anti-GMO Anthem 'A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop'] ''[[The Huffington Post]]'' by Ed Mazza, January 6, 2015</ref><ref>WTTV TV [http://cbs4indy.com/2015/06/20/neil-youngs-new-album-blasts-walmart-monsanto-and-more/ Neil Young's new album blasts Walmart, Monsanto and more JUNE 20, 2015, By CNN Wire]</ref> The song was included on his 2015 concept album ''[[The Monsanto Years]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/1803633/neil-young-rock-starbucks/mp3s/|title=Neil Young – "A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop"|date=May 22, 2015|website=Stereogum.com|access-date=July 11, 2017}}</ref>
